scan from string error 85

[drakkar]

I am having trouble using scan from string function. For some reason I can't separate the string from the number. I get error 85.

We can't really diagnose the problem if we don't know what's going into it...

Appologies.

When input string is PID1234 I expect the following outputs:

String output = PID

Numeric output = 1234

Instead I get an error 85

%s is going to grab everything, instead grab the non-digits followed by a number using this format string : %[^0-9]%d

Use "%[^0-9]%d" for your format string.  This will tell the first string output to stop when it finds a number.

EDIT: Well, better late than never...
