interface

type

function Sscanf(const s: string; const fmt: string;

const Pointers: arrayof Pointer): Integer;

implementation

{ Sscanf выполняет синтаксический разбор входной строки. Параметры...

s - входная строка для разбора

fmt - 'C' scanf-форматоподобная строка для управления разбором

%d - преобразование в Long Integer

%f - преобразование в Extended Float

%s - преобразование в строку (ограничено пробелами)

другой символ - приращение позиции s на "другой символ"

пробел - ничего не делает

Pointers - массив указателей на присваиваемые переменные

результат - количество действительно присвоенных переменных

Например, ...

Sscanf('Name. Bill Time. 7:32.77 Age. 8',

'. %s . %d:%f . %d', [@Name, @hrs, @min, @age]);

возвратит ...

Name = Bill hrs = 7 min = 32.77 age = 8 }

Code:

// Parse a string, for example:

// How do I get the "B" from "A|B|C|D|E|F"?

function Parse(Char, S: string; Count: Integer): string;

var

I: Integer;

T: string;

begin

if S[Length(S)] <> Char then

S := S + Char;

for I := 1to Count do

begin

T := Copy(S, 0, Pos(Char, S) - 1);

end;

Result := T;

end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

begin

ShowMessage(Parse('|', 'A|B|C|D|E|F', 2));

end;

{

Parameters:

Parse([Character, for example "|"], [The string],

[The number, the "B" is the 2nd part of the string]);

This function is handy to use when sending data over the internet,

for example a chat program: Name|Text. Note: Be sure there's no "Char" in the string!

Use a unused character like "|" or "?".
