How can swscanf and CString work together?

We have a MFC/C++ Unicode project and we want to replace some older CString splitting routines by swscanf like

C++

CString strTest = _T("Test1 - Test2");
CString strResult1, strResult2;

swscanf(strTest, _T("%ls - %ls"), strResult1, strResult2);

but the result is

strResult1 = strResult2 = "Test2".

I am desperate... What's going wrong?

CString has a getbuffer method, or something similar, to get the buffer for methods like this.
