A micro-DSL ? I should know this stuff, I think my brain is going. What's DSL in
this context?
Re: needing all of scanf: not right now I don't need it. I actually need
anything like last week already - spent too long staring at tv scenes of
exploding nuclear reactors and wasteland where towns used to be over the weekend.
But for the future I am writing an app where the user can upload a file of data
and specify the input using that printf/scanf pattern description, and output
the same data into new file with a new format according to a secocnd pattern.
It's OHLC historical data from the financial markets, and it must be in the
correct format for importing into various different analysis programs.

If I were approaching this I'd probably consider writing some sort of
transform between scanf functionality and an underlying
implementation; a micro-DSL, more or less.

Hi List
this is a bit OT but it's the weekend and I have a question which I am
desperate to answer and my googling skills are no match for it.
Does anyone know where I can get a Java implementation of scanf?
Does java.text.MessageFormat.parse() perhaps meet at least some of your
needs?
This might actually be a quicker way to do exactly what I need to do now, I
mean quicker than Scanner. Thanks for the great tip.
However it has 2 drawbacks in comparison with C's scanf - it doesn't take
the same symbols and formatting in its pattern as printf, and it can't
handle multiple occurrences of the same variable in the pattern.
