Not quite sure, I haven't used scanf before, but it seems to me that's it having trouble figuring out where to stop parsing one and start parsing the other, since you have [EMAIL PROTECTED]@] crunched together like that... sort of like if you wanted it to part TheWord into 2 words, how would it know where one stops and the other starts? Maybe try sticking a space ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the mix, since the creator's name is gonna be 1 word anyway, and let it parse the rest of the line as the area name...

The general format of the credits is as follows. Credits {1 15} Palladia The Durance of Hate~ I am using sscanf to separate out the three things I need (or at least I'm trying.) if (sscanf(credits, "{%[^}]} [EMAIL PROTECTED]@]", levels, creator, area) < 3) log_string("Problem parsing credits string."); if (sscanf(levels, "%d%d", &minlevel, &maxlevel) < 2) log_string("Problem parsing levels from credits string."); trimchr = &creator[strlen(creator)]; do {*(trimchr--) = '\0';} while (*trimchr <= ' '); For some reason its parsing the following. Levels : 1 - 15 Creator : Palladia The Durance of Hate ? -- What I want it to look like is simply: Levels : 1 - 15 Creator : Palladia What did I miss to have it stop after reading Palladia....?
