scanf: skip the integer between the two strings

<source lang="cpp">#include <stdio.h>

 int main(void)
 {
   char str[80], str2[80];
   int i;
   printf("skip the integer between the two strings:");
   scanf("%s%*d%s", str, str2);
   return 0;
 }</source>

Use *

The * is used to suppress input.

<source lang="cpp">scanf(" %d %*d %*d%*d %d ", &i, &j)</source>

If your input is 10 20 30 40 50, i will get the value 10 and j will get the value 50.
