Problem extracting data from dos command.

I managed to obtain a string using

data = evalc('!netstat -s -p UDP')

However, when I tried to use sscanf, all I got was '' .

received = sscanf(data,'Datagrams Received = %d') received =

     ''

Did I do something wrong or did I miss a step? Or is there another method?

sscanf does not look through the data until it finds something that matches the format: sscanf only succeeds if the part from the beginning of the string matches the format.

I suggest you look at regexp()

It works. Thank you!
