read characters till white space

[ashok449]

Dear All,

how to read read characters till white space

char *a;
	a =(char *)malloc(15);
	strcpy(a, "rollnumber 449");

char *pvar,;
pvar =(char *)malloc(10);

now I need pvar as rollnumber (read till white space)




Thanks ...

but your malloc is not big enough to store 10 chars + nul-char

1. scanf("%10s" should work

2. strchr + strncpy

3. strtok + strcpy

strtok() worked for me


Thanks ...
