SSCANF SSCANF Formated String Input Function (C-Style)

Usage

Reads values from a string.  The general syntax for its use is

  [a1,...,an] = sscanf(text,format)

Here format is the format string, which is a string that
controls the format of the input.  Each value that is parsed
from the text occupies one output slot.  See printf
for a description of the format.
