sscanf spliting

I have a string like this

I am trying to use sscanf to put them into 2 different chars

when I do it I get
Value1: 2C4Z2376VC6E4TH9MC72V74H4BGKT6JF Value2: MC72V74H4BGKT6JF
from
sscanf(buffer, "%s%s", value1,value2);

use this:
sscanf(buffer, "%[^ ] %s",value1, value2);

There is a white space after ^ and another one after ]

Sorry, I don't undestand what you mean. This works:

char *sample="C4Z2376VC6E4TH9 MC72V74H4BGKT6JF";
char value1[30], value2[30];

sscanf(sample, "%[^ ] %s",value1, value2);
printf ("value1=%s\nvalue2=%s", value1, value2);

char buffer[1000];
            int nLineCount = 0;
            char curdir[MAX_PATH];
            GetCurrentDirectory(MAX_PATH,curdir);
            char file[MAX_PATH];
            sprintf(file,"%s%s",curdir,"\\keys.txt");
            fstream infile;
            infile.open(file, ios::in);
            char Classic[16];
            char LoD[16];
            char Key;

            while(!infile.eof() && !infile.fail())
            {
                  infile.getline(buffer, sizeof(buffer));
                  sscanf(buffer, "%[^ ] %s",Classic, LoD);

                  Output->WriteEx(ConsoleOutput::RED,"Classic: %s LoD: %s\n", Classic,LoD);


            }

            infile.close();
