Hi all, when I'm running the following code - 

  int Result, MyInt = 0;
  char MyChar = 0;  

  FILE *fp = fopen( "MyFile.bin", "rb" ); 

  fseek( fp, 0, SEEK_SET ); 
  Result = fscanf( fp, "%c", &MyChar );
  fclose( fp );

Then everything OK, the command 'fscanf' works OK, and I get 
Result = 1, and MyChar = 0x53, but when I replace the fscanf 
with this line - 

  Result = fscanf( fp, "%d", &MyInt );

and I run the application, then I get Result = 0, and MyInt = 0,
why does it not working? how do I use 'fscanf' for getting int
values from a Binary file?

"MyFile.bin" file is a binary file that looks like this - 

0x53 0x87 0xA2 0xD8 ..... 

Thanks!

Because the ...scanf() functions are designed for parsing textual data, not
binary data.

Like Alan() said, you have to use fread() instead.

You don't. You use fread(). fscanf() is for reading text.
