Thread: Nested strtok

Consider this loop:

Code:

	    while (t != NULL)
	    {
			t = strtok(NULL, tbc);
			if (t != NULL)
			{
				if(time_check_legal(t)) row_add_key(_row, t);  // <--- MESSES UP

			}
	    }

The function time_check_legal(const char *_time) also uses strtok(), twice, and it seems it messes up the strtok loop. Is this normal ? Is there a workaround ?

Best wishes, Des

Remember that strtok modifies the string it is parsing for the delimeter. if time_check _legal is parsing the same string you may put your self in a bind. You should copy the string first.

Also your strtok call against NULL(string) is confusing.

Thanks Dave, what I was wanting to say.
