I think it does what it should.. %s is supposed to stop at whitespace.

You probably really want..

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

int
main(int argc, char **argv) {
    char name [20], value [20];
    int i;

    i = sscanf("Test 2->Test 3", "%[^-]->%[^-]", name, value);
    printf("%d %s->%s\n", i, name, value);

    exit(0);
}
