Thread: Splitting An Array

Hi,

I'm writing a program that will do what the UNIX cut command does. I've written the code to read in the ranges, and to open a file for reading.

I have two seperate char arrays which hold the ranges for -c and -f.
For example, cranges holds

Code:

{'1', '-', '3', ',', '4',  ',', '5', '-'};

Each range is delimited by a comma.
I have written a function which takes a range and returns an integer depending on what type it is:
N
N-M
N-
-N

I'm wondering how to best take each range and pass it into my get_range function. I was trying to tokenize the array, but that just crashes my program.

Can you show an example of what you want, with one array? All the way through it?

I can't tell if you need the values you want, from the array, or the index to the values you want in the array. I can't even tell if your program needs to take this "cut".
