scan from string

[JimChretz]

Hello everyone,

I have this beginner question, I don't understand what happens here, I'd expect Name="Voltage " and Unit="mV", how should I do that, what do I don't understand?

I want to ignore the caracters before "(", space or not should not affect anything. Just return it in Name.

Cheers!

I do not know your expectation for spaces or no spaces but you can do this for the format string:

%[^(](%[^)])

Match a string that does not have '('  --> Name

Match '('

Match a string that does not have ')'  --> Unit

Match ')'

The final match is optional, it will toss an error if there is no closing ), that is up to you.
