Thread: help me with this strtok

I have the following code:

Code:

 char* pch = strtok(line, " ");
      	 int h;
         for (h = 0; pch != NULL; h++){
	    if (h == 0){
	     target = StringConstruct(pch);
            pch = strtok(NULL, " ");
            printf("Target %s\n", target); 
	    }
	    else if (strlen(pch) > 1){
	      strcpy(dep[depIndex], pch);
	      printf("Dependencies %s\n", dep[depIndex] );
	      depIndex++;
	    }
	   pch = strtok(NULL, "  ");
         }

if I use this string:

Name : John

the strlen of John will be 5 instead of 4

If I use this

Name: John Legend

the strlen of John will be 4 but Legend will be 7, how do I fix this?

Remove the \n from the end of the string before you tokenize, or alternatively, add \n to your list of tokens to break off.
