| I think it's missing an initial %. If so then it is meant to read up to 40 character untill the next ". Then it ignores a comma, whitespace character, and any character in that order.

| and so it will have a problem - because when parsing of %40[^\"] stops - most likely next not read character in the stream will be " and not , expected by the format - so the parsing will stop there
