Ooops.  Typo in my reply.  The assignment-suppression character (*)  
must appear right after the %.
Here's the correct format:

If you want to convert the second value in the reply the scanf format  
string is a little more complicated.
	"%*[^,],%lf"
This looks a little complex, but isn't too bad if you consider each  
part separately:
	%*[^,]     -- Match any characters that are not a comma.  Do not  
store the result.
	,              -- Match a comma
        %lf         -- convert the floating point value and store  
into a double.
