Function like sscanf() in C
|
I'm going to be doing some heavy CMUD testing, developing an AI chatbot using triggers and a response database. There was a function similar to sscanf() that CMUD had but I can't remember it for the life of me. Can someone possibly shed some light for me?

The only function that uses C style foof() codes would be %format() and that does pretty much the exact opposite of sscanf so isn't much help.
Your best bets are going to be %match() and %regex() which can store captured text into a variable. |
