C++ Reference: strtok()

strtok()

Declaration

char* strtok(char* cpString, const char* kcpDelimiters);

Description

This function returns a pointer to the first character of "cpString" in the null-terminated set "kcpDelimiters." Once a delimiter is found, it is replaced by a NULL or '\0' character. So, repeated calls continually find the next delimiter in the string.

Example

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>

int main()
{
    char caString[] = "Copyright 2009 XoaX";
    char caDelim[] = " ";

    char* cpSub = strtok(caString, caDelim);;

    // Get the next token until, there are no more.
    while (cpSub) {
        printf("%s \n", cpSub);
        cpSub = strtok(NULL, caDelim);
    }

    return 0;
}
