String format specifier which reads until carriage return or line feed

An even better solution might be to read text until a character from a user-defined character set is encountered (in this case 0D=CR; 0A=LF; 09=TAB):

You should read the help file.  Use this as the format and it will give you the result you are looking for

%[^\0D\0A\09]
%[^\0D\0A\09]
