Re: Use scanner to Rename File and Directory using single character of mask

[Oliver Joos <oliver joos hispeed ch>]

Hi Casey,

I like your plan!
Please consider "/%.1a/" (instead of "/%a1/") to cut the first
character. This is the common solution in printf(), snprintf() ect.
May be easier to implement and to use (at least for C-Coders ;-)

With regards!

#include <stdio.h>
void main(void) {
  printf("--%5s--\n", "Abc");
  printf("--%-5s--\n", "Abc");
  printf("--%.1s--\n", "Abc");  // <-- cut first character
  printf("--%.2s--\n", "Abc");
}
// ... prints:
--  Abc--
--Abc  --
--A--
--Ab--
