Thread: Hey, i'm new here and hoping to get a few noobish questions answered

ok! phewwwww. well ive taken most of that in. Must seem simple to you. But im finding it hard to work it out to be honest. Thanks for all your help

lol i just realised. that i could just print out the words with a simple printf("%s\n",ptr); didnt even realise i could do it that simple. lol i'll know for next time. Well bed time here in ireland night night.

FWIW, a strtok version:

Code:

char ** tokenize ( const char * split_it, const char * delim, 
                   char ** string_ar, const unsigned long AR_LENGTH )
{
    /**shouldn't assume that no one will want 'split_it' as-is later, so 
     **create a copy in memory:**/
    char * split_me = duplicate( split_it );
    char * found = NULL;

    if( split_me != NULL ) {
        unsigned long wordcount = 0;

        for( found = strtok( split_me, delim );
             found != NULL && wordcount < AR_LENGTH;
             found = strtok( NULL /**more matches?**/, delim ) ) 
        {   
            string_ar[wordcount] = duplicate( found );

            if( string_ar[wordcount] == NULL )
                return NULL; /**failure return**/

            ++wordcount;
        }
        string_ar[wordcount] = NULL;  /**like argv**/
        free( split_me );
        /**free( found ); is not nexessary because it simply points
         **to a part of the recent 'split_me', and since we copied the
         **words to 'string_ar' we can safely free 'split_me'**/
    }
    return string_ar;
}
