Parse string to multiple vars

Question

Hey Im having a problem trying to parse strings. My program can receive 4 types of input:

s = "x=10+2;"
s = "x=10+y;"
s = "x=y+10;"
s = "x=y+z;"

I mean the format is something like: s = "(string)=(string)||(int)+(string)||(int);"

I have tried to use sscanf( s, "%c=%d+%d", &c, &v1, &v2 ) but I need to first verify which type of input is it.

char* s = "x=2+22;";
int v1, v2;
char* c;
sscanf( s, "%c=%d+%d", &c, &v1, &v2 );
printf("%s %d %d\n", c, v1, v2);

I want to parse the string to three vars.

Let me propose you another way, using strsep and some if conditionals to detect if the characters are integer or string, the following code works for all your cases

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
  char *token, *string, *var;
  char *str = "x=x+10;";
  int tmp1,tmp2;
  tofree = string = strdup(str);
  if (string == NULL)
    return -1;

  token = strsep(&string, "=");
  printf("%s\n", token);
  token = strsep(&string, "=");
  printf("%s\n", token);

  var = strsep(&token, "+");
  if( var[0] >= 0x60 && var[0] <= 0x7B ) // detect string
  {
    printf("str1 = [ %s ] \n", var);
  } else {    // else case will be an integer
    tmp1 = atoi(var);
    printf("int1 = [ %d ] \n ",tmp1);
  }

  var = strsep(&token, "+");
  var[strlen(var)-1]='\0'; // remove ";" 
  if( var[0] >= 0x61 && var[0] <= 0x7A )
  {
    printf("str2 = [ %s ] \n", var);
  }else{
    tmp2 = atoi(var);
    printf("int2 = [ %d ] \n ",tmp2);
  }

  return 0;
}
