There's already a patch called "String Scanner" --- this one doesn't do scanf-style parsing.. just handles strings between spaces, I think..
However, a full regex parser along those lines might be cool.. check out http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?CSRegex --- which i used in the phidget and midi patches.
obviously dedicated nodes is good, but its getting this exact kind of precise behaviour that has driven my desire for a 'shell script' node. which now exists. yay!

all-purpose string manipulator
with better truncate and rename options than the actual one. (though given a coding person, this could be done on Javascript, couldn't it ?)
