How to parse a string?

[François Fleuret]

Hi,

Maybe is this a dumb question, but I do not see how to find the answer
either in the info files or on the web.

I just want to do a primitive parsing scanf-style in elisp.

For instance, given a string which I know is composed of 5 fields of
type integer/integer/word/word/word, separated by spaces, how can I
transform this string into a list of the objects?

Thanks in advance,
