Is there an equivalent to ‘sscanf()’ in .NET?

by

There’s no such method, probably because of problems resolving ambiguities:

string.Unformat("This {0} very {1}.", "This is very very funny.")
// are the parameters equal to "is" and "very funny", or "is very" and "funny"?

Regular expression capturing groups are made for this problem; you may want to look into them.
