    >>strtok()
    Might not be the best function to use, as it changes the contents of the original string.

    To find a string within a string, use strstr . To find a character within a string, you can use strchr, but based on your requirements, I'd probably build my own parser. Besides, building it yourself is more educational
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
