Andreas, The point of this post is reading fixed column items of a formatted text file that (for historical reasons) were written without taking care of delimiters. In other words, formatted columns may touch each other. If fscanf/scanf were available, then the problem would be solved by using the same FORMAT for reading and writing. I am considering to report an issue on Git. It is strange that this problem has not come up before.
