hello,
I have a data file with several columns consisting of double values. I
am reading the whole row as a string using fgets(). I want to convert
each column back into a double. It seems atof() converts only the first
column and strtod() also does the same. Is there any other way ?
thanks
------------
FILE *fp1;
char thing1[61];
double mtot;

fgets(thing1,61,fp1);
mtot = atof(thing1);


What is the actual format of the file? Are there a fixed number of columns (fields) per row? How are the fields delimited?
