Subject: [Q]: sscanf / fscanf in CL ?

Hi,

Has anybody ever implemented something that mimics C's sscanf (or fscanf)
in Common Lisp? What I am looking for is a string pattern matcher: e.g.,
if

sscanf( string, "%s me in", &strvar )

is feeded with string "fill me in"

strvar gets value "fill".

If this is an insane question because something much better exists, I'd
very much like to hear from you as well.

Thanks!  -- Arnoud.
