Thread: Split line

Hello All,


I'm trying to split a line like this:

15 /usr/bin/php /html/echo.php 8

I split paramaters using space char as the delimiter. I need to put the first par (15) and a variable and all the rest to another variable. I've tryed to do this using strtok, I can read all the params but didnt had success to put all the other pars to one unique variable.

Here is a small part of my code:

Code:

                                while(c<1000) {
                                        if(c==0) {
                                                strcpy(comando,token);
                                        } else { //if(c==1) {
                                                strcpy(valor,token);
                                                x = strlen(valor)-1;
                                                if(valor[x] == CHAR_RETURN) {
                                                        puts("fim!");
                                                        break;
                                                }
                                        }

                                        printf("valor: [%s]\n",valor);
                                        printf("Xtoken: [%s]\n",token);

                                        token = strtok( NULL, CHAR_DELIM );
                                        printf("token2: [%s]\n",token);
                                        printf("before->buffer: [%s]\n",token);
                                        sprintf(buffer,"%s %s",buffer,token);
                                        printf("after->buffer: [%s]\n",token);
                                        printf("===========> c: [%d]\n",c);
                                        c++;
                                }

Can anybody point me a better way to do this ?

Thanks in advance,

Well, I think I´ve found a better way of doing what I need. I´ve done this:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

main() {
        //char line[]="Hello World !!";
        //char line[]="Hello My Big World !! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0";
        char line[]="Hello My Big World";
        //char line[]="15 /usr/bin/php /html/echo.php 8";
        //char line[BUFSIZ];
        //strcpy(line,"Hello My Big World");

        func(line);
}

func(char *ptr) {

        int y=0,c=0,n,len=0,x=0;
        char periodicidade[BUFSIZ];
        char path[BUFSIZ];
        char field[BUFSIZ];
        char *p_texto = ptr;

           while ( sscanf(ptr, "%50[^ ]%*c%n", field, &n) == 1 )
           {
                len = strlen(ptr);
                ptr += n;
                switch(c) {
                        case 0:
                                strcpy(periodicidade,field);
                                printf("field[%d]: [%s]\n",c,field);
                                break;
                        /*
                        case 1: 
                                printf("field[%d]: [%s]\n",c,field);
                                break;
                        case 2: 
                                printf("field[%d]: [%s]\n",c,field);
                                break;
                        */
                        default:
                                strcat(path,field);
                                strcat(path," ");
                                printf("default->field[%d]: [%s]\n",c,field);
                                break;
                } //switch
                c++;
             } //while

        puts("");
        puts("=====================================================");
        printf("periodicidade: [%s]\n",periodicidade);
        printf("path: [%s]\n",path);

}

The result was:
field[0]: [Hello]
default->field[1]: [My]
default->field[2]: [Big]
default->field[3]: [World]
default->field[4]: [d]
default->field[5]: [@]

================================================== ===
periodicidade: [Hello]
path: [My Big World d @ ]


As we can see at the end of the string there are some trashed chars... I think that is info on memory...
Can anyone explain what is this and how to take it off ?

Thanks again,

Well it didn´t realy work !

Code:

while ( sscanf(ptr, "%50[^ ]%*s%n", field, &n) == 1 )

It produces the following:
field[0]: [Hello]

================================================== ===
periodicidade: [Hello]
path: []

Dont know what to do....

Thanks,

Hey, thanks alot tjohnsson.

It worked !
