thank you so much ı have a quastion more. If ı want to scan first colon to 21st how can i do ?

[Walter Roberson]

would the colon be in a fixed position?

'%*18c%3c%*[^\n]\n'

this will include the trailing space in column 21. If you are after the number without the space (2 columns) then use %f instead of %3c
