(1) `formattedRead()`
from parse import parse def main(): s = "mul(11,8)" p = parse("mul({a},{b})", s) print(p["a"]) # "11" print(p["b"]) # "8"	import std.stdio; import std.format; void main() { string s = "mul(11,8)"; int a, b; auto items = formattedRead(s, "mul(%s,%s)", a, b); assert(items == 2, "couldn't extract both values"); writeln(a); // 11 writeln(b); // 8 writeln(s); // "", empty string writeln(s.length); // 0 }
This is a 3rd-party library. You can install it with `pip`.	At the end, the string `s` is consumed, i.e. it becomes an empty string. If you want to keep the original string, call the function on a copy: `formattedRead(s.dup, …)` The function returns the number of extracted elements. This way you can verify if everything went well.
