[Kstars-devel] stupd C++ question

[Jason Harris]

Hello,

I am trying to write a straight C++ program to parse the star catalog, 
so I can add some additional genitive names I found.  I usually use 
fortran for these little 20-line programs, but it isn't flexible enough 
for this purpose.  I'm afraid I am a bit lost without my Qt/KDE 
crutches! :)

Why doesn't this simple program work?

-----------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int rah, ram;
  float ras;
  char *line = "064509.25";

  sscanf( line, "%2d%2d%5.2f", &rah, &ram, &ras );

  cout << rah << ":" << ram << ":" << ras << endl;
}
-----------------------------
When I run it, I get:
6:45:3.98821e-34

Why isn't the third field getting set to "9.25"?

thanks for any ideas,
Jason
