=====strtok===== Syntax: #include char *strtok( char *str1, const char *str2 ); The ''strtok'' function returns a pointer to the next "token" in ''str1'', where ''str2 ''contains the delimiters that determine the token. ''strtok'' returns ''NULL'' if no token is found. In order to convert a string to tokens, the first call to ''strtok'' should have ''str1'' point to the string to be tokenized. All calls afterwards should have ''str1'' be ''NULL''. For example: char str[] = "now # is the time for all # good men to come to the # aid of their country"; char delims[] = "#"; char *result = NULL; result = strtok( str, delims ); while( result != NULL ) { printf( "result is \"%s\"\n", result ); result = strtok( NULL, delims ); } The above code will display the following output: result is "now " result is " is the time for all " result is " good men to come to the " result is " aid of their country" Related Topics: [[strchr]], [[strcspn]], [[strpbrk]], [[strrchr]], [[strspn]], [[strstr]]
