Using sscanf to Scan into Waves at Indexed Positions?

Hi,

This is a pretty simple question - I'm just trying to use sscanf to scan into a text or numeric wave at an indexed position:

Make /O /T one, two, three, four, stringGraphInformation

FReadLine refNum, buffer
sscanf buffer, "YLeftScale%[^=]=%[^A-Za-z]%s", buffer2, buffer3, stringGraphInformation[0]

I keep getting an error message saying that it expects the name of a local numeric variable or NVAR, or a local string variable or SVAR

I was getting around this by just scanning it into a local string variable, and then copying it over to the wave as so:

stringGraphInformation[0] = yLeftScale

I would like to avoid this, however, because it makes my code look like a mess.

Thanks very much
