strtok()
#include <string.h>
method prototype :
char *strtok( char *str1, const char *str2 );Description:
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 after this should have str1 be NULL.
Example:
char str[] = "this # is # our # country"; char delims[] = "#"; char *result = NULL; result = strtok( str, delims ); while( result != NULL ) { printf( "result is \"%s\"\n", result ); result = strtok( NULL, delims ); } OUTPUT: result is "this " result is " is " result is " our " result is " country"
