Hi everybody,

I tried already to call the sscanf() function, declaring it as follows:

function sscanf(inp:PWideChar; fmt:PWideChar; pdw:PDWORD):integer;stdcall;external 'ntdll.dll';

Interestingly I could get the entry point and call it without errors (I tried with integer values, since they don't need extra memory allocation).
Please note, I derived the above declaration from that found in C headers in the PSDK (The function itself is neither listed in the 08/2002 PSDK nor in the W2K SP1 DDK). The only difference to the declaration in the header is the calling convention which was initially cdecl instead stdcall (native api).

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Oliver aka Assarbad
