[ruby-core:73790] [Ruby trunk Bug#12035] scanf suspicious results.

Issue #12035 has been updated by Peter Camilleri.


I think you're missing the point. Of course %s would seem to work in this case. 
My question is about the %[set] (and %[^set]) format specifier that is documented as part of scanf. 
It also works, but only **once**. That's the rub.

Bug #12035: scanf suspicious results.

----------------------------------------
The code: 'a b c'.scanf('%[a] %[b] %[c]')

yields the result: ["a"] and not ["a","b","c"] as expected.

So far it seems that when sets of characters are used, only 
the first one in the parse specification string actually returns 
any data.
