scanf conversions

I''m having a little problem with certain kinds of text when using scanf. Lines such as "blahblah blah" 64327 2446 and even just "blahblah blah" don''t seem to be converted properly by scanf. I''ve tried using "%s", "\"%s\"", "%[^\"]" and various combinations of those three and many other things. I''m sure its not too complicated a problem, but it just seems to get away from me. Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions. ------------ - outRider -
