Sscanf() skip elements

[Daniel Gorbe]

Hi!

It is possible to skip elements of a string with Sscanf()? As in C with %*s.

Example:

    var res string

    text := "A simple text"

    fmt.Sscanf(text, "%*s %*s %s", &res)

    fmt.Printf("%s\n", res) // print: "text"

Best regards,

    Daniel

No, at present there doesn't seem to be any support for that.
