can we specify variable field width in a scanf() format string? if possible how in c language?..

Answer / deepedra kushwaha

You can't specify a variable field with a fixed format
string, but you can get around this by making the format
string variable:

int width;
char format[20]; /* or whatever size is appropriate */
int value;

...
sprintf(format, "%%%dd", width); /* generates a string like
"%5d" */
scanf(format, &value);

The only drawback to this method, other than requiring two
statements, is that the compiler can't do a sanity check on
the arguments to scanf like it can when the format is a
string constant.
