title: date format dd.mm.yyyy in C
body: <p>I want to know if there is a way to read date from console in format dd.mm.yyyy in C. I have a structure with information for the date. I tried with another structure just for the date with  day, month and year in it: </p>
  
  <pre><code>typedef struct
  {
      int day;
      int month;
      int year;
  } Date;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but the dots are a problem. Any idea?</p>
