sscanf & whitespaces

I have a couple of strings that are formatted like this :
"string1" "string2" "string3"

eg :
"testing" "hi_there" "56"

I want to break up this string into 3 strings so I call this :

Code:

char *input = "\"testing\" \"hi_there\" \"56\"";
char score[16];
char name[64];
char value[16];

sscanf(input, "%s %s %s", score, name, value);
printf("%s %s %s\n", score, name, value);

The output is :
"testing" "hi_there" "56"

So far so good. I get a problem though when I have a string like this :
"testing" "I contain whitespaces" "56"

The output is wrong then. I also understand why. But I can't find a way to get the string between the 2 ' " 's WITH whitespaces.

Thanks in advance.

If you don't need to include the double-quotes within the destination string, I'd say go with something like this.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   const char input[] = "\"testing\" \"I contain whitespaces\" \"56\"";
   char score[16];
   char name[64];
   char value[16];
   if ( sscanf(input, "\"%15[^\"]\" \"%63[^\"]\" \"%15[^\"]\"", 
               score, name, value)  == 3 )
   {
      printf("\"%s\" \"%s\" \"%s\"\n", score, name, value);
   }
   return 0;
}

/* my output
"testing" "I contain whitespaces" "56"
*/

If you do need the double-quotes, I'd say write your own parsing function based on strchr or similar.
