gcc 4.4.2

I have the following code:

char channels[] = "NumberOfChannel = [2]";

sscanf(channels, "%*[^=]= %d", &chan);

    %*[^=]
    

    The [^=] means match a string which contains no =. This is a POSIX extension. The * means discard the matched result.

    (BTW, to correctly get chan you need sscanf(channels, "%*[^=]= [%d]", &chan);.)
