Thread: Parse A Part of String

Hello Guys...
i'm very new to C Programming, but i'm learning quite well...
how can i parse only a part of a string?
my string is always like this:

Code:

GET /send.htm?Text=START HTTP/1.1

only the "START" part can change according to user input, but that part is always after the "=" sign and before " " (the space) before HTTP.
i need to retrieve that part only and save into an variable. how can i do this?
i would appreciate it if some one could help me with this, an example code or something would be really nice.

thanking you in advance

can u give an example? I've never worked with those functions.... or a link that provides some examples.
thanks

cstring (string.h) - C++ Reference

I looked at those examples, but I'm still lost... can someone post a piece of code that could demonstrate the use of strchr() and strncpy()?

Code:

	char Text[80] = {0};
	char * line = "GET /send.htm?Text=START HTTP/1.1";

	char *s,*t;

	if(s = strchr(line, '=')) 
	{
		if(t = strchr(s, ' '))
			strncpy(Text, s+1, t-s);
	}
	printf("Text = %s\n", Text);

there is much easyer way
if str="123456"
sscanf(str,"%3d",&num);

num will be 123

Thanks a million Scarlet7, now I understand how to use it
