parse a line to get numbers

Question

I have lines that look like this:

tmp='bla bio = 773 node = 6 bib=21 data=118 pewp= 120'

I need to get the first and last numbers - 773,120 I tried

sscanf(tmp,' %*s %*s %*s %f  %*s %*s %*s %*s %*s %*s %f')

But without any luck.. The numbers 6 21 118 are random the rest are consts

Answer 1

i found an easy way

temp=sscanf(tmp,'bla bio = %f node = %f bib=%f data=%f pewp= %f')
tmp(1)=temp(1)
tmp(2)=temp(5)

Answer 2

The following approach might help:

% Remove all '='
tmp(strfind(tmp,'=')) = [];

% Set the key & indices
key = 'bio';
index = strfind(tmp,key);

%Extract value
value = sscanf(str(index(1)+length(key):end), '%g',1);

% To get value of pewp, set key = 'pewp' and repeat above steps
