sscanf and MD5
Author
I've finally gotten OBJ and MD2 to work, so now I'm going to try my hand at skeletal animation. I've written some code to simply read and output the data into a console window. No rendering yet, I just want to make sure the file is being read properly.
The header reads fine, and the required number of meshes and joints too, but the data INSIDE the meshes and joints don't read properly. I've found my issue to be with sscanf I think.
MD5Version 10
------>(indent here)numverts 494
The difference between those 2 lines up there is that one is indented and one isn't. Thats why the version info is being properly read, but the vertex count isn't.
I'm trying to read the vertex count using the following line:
sscanf(tmpline,"numverts %d",&temp_mesh.numVertices);
Can someone please suggest a modification to my formatting string so that it will read the number of vertices properly?
Thanks in advance.
Not sure about MD5. But when i download .md5 file i saw TABs before "numverts",
probably thats why not interpreting this?
maybe you can try like this ?:
char *line = readline();
char *s = strstr(line,"numverts");
if(s) {
if(sscaf(s,"numverts %d",&num_vert) == 1) {
printf("num vertices are now %d\n",num_vert);
};
};

};
};
you can skip the leading spaces/tabs and go to the first character:
something like that...
char *ptr = str;while(*ptr && (*ptr == ' ' || *ptr == '\t')) ptr++;something like that...

@ferdekk: Thanks for the advice, but I can already accurately identify which line belongs to which element of the file. The problem is that numVerts, in fact, most subdata chunks, won't load properly.
$Tobio: I've tried. It ain't workin. lol. Any other suggestions people? Please and thank you.

Here is some more code, so you can have an idea of whats going on.

Here is some source code of a modified md5 loader.
I found a great one on the net, but it didn't make use of classes, so I rewrote it:
If you use c++ to open the md5 mesh, you don't have to worry about the possbile tabs. std::ifstream just doesn't read them and continues at the next character.
A big plus of using the c++ filestream classes is, that reading and writing strings becomes quite easy.
If you want the source code of my loader, write me a pm, I'm happy to share it :)

Thanks for the offer shadowman, but I solved my problem at about 1 am this morning. Thanks anyway.
