sscanf: identical to scanf() except that data is from *buf

<source lang="cpp">

//Declaration: int sscanf(const char *buf, const char *format, ...); //Return: the number of variables assigned.

               A value of zero means that no fields were assigned.  
               EOF indicates an error.  

 #include <stdio.h>
 int main(void)
 {
   char str[80];
   int i;
   sscanf("hello 1 2 3 4 5", "%s%d", str, &i);
   printf("%s %d", str, i);
   return 0;
 }
