fscanf and spaces

Anon

is there a way I can ahve fscanf ignore spaces?

I have a data file
http://www.blah.com Blah is cool This is a cool site.

Where the url, title, and Description are seperated by tabs, can I have fscanf read whatever is between the tabs?

Do i need to add "'s?

"http://www.blah.com" "Blah is cool" "This is a cool site"

Or do I need to use something other than fscanf?

You need to use something other than fscanf().
If your data is carefully structured, and you have
each field separated by a tab, just read the
whole line and then explode() it.

Thanks, but heres how I solved it...Would explode be much better? I've never heard of that.

while (!feof ($links_file)) {
	list ($link_url, $link_title, $link_description) = split("\t", $link_data, 3);

	/* Print out variables */
	print("<li class='newscontent'><a href='$link_url' class='newscontent'>$link_title</a>: $link_description");

	/* Read in and parse variables */
	$link_data = fgets($links_file, 4096);
}
fclose($links_file);

Presumably explode(), which splits the string on a simple string,
is faster than split(), which uses a regular expression.
