hi

how can i read formatted input from standard input( instead of scanf )what function can i use to read

I honestly don't know what you want to do, but I'm guessing you want to parse strings. 

If that's the case then I, like @awneill, suggest you take a look at the CLI library as it parses strings sent over UART:

i want to do the similar thing in nordic using termite 

char ch[80];
int n;
int array[3] ={peripheral 1 ,peripheral 2,peripheral 3};
printf ("enter the peripheral number whom you want to send the msg");
scanf("%d", n);
printf("enter the message you want to send");
scanf("%s", ch);

using termite mean uart

No, it doesn't.

as explained above.

i didn't get that thats why i am asking

Try the Command Line Interface (CLI) Example.

If you don't understand, then explain what's unclear.

Simply repeating the question endlessly isn't going to help.

Again, note that this is not specific to nRF - exactly the same would apply to any microcontroller. So try looking at some standard microcontroller resources.

Did you look at the links about retargetting?

This one looks like a good starting point:
