strtok with addition

[sababa.sababa]

Hi all!

I have a large string built up of many words, that I want to cut into many smaller strings, one to each word. For this purpose I'm using strtok. My problem is that after some words there is commas and dots, that I don't want to have in the cut strings. What function should I use? Perhaps memset?

Why not strtok? The seperator argument can be longer than one character.

but the point is that there is not always a dot or a comma after the word, so I want to use many possibilities for the separator argument.

I don't know why this compiles, but it doesn't seem to work. Though perhaps it can inspiring.

strtok(NULL, " " "\n" ", " ". ");

It doesn't matter.

char *
strtok(char *restrict str, const char *restrict sep);

...

The strtok() function is used to isolate sequential tokens in a null-ter-
minated string, str. These tokens are separated in the string by at
least one of the characters in sep.

strtok(NULL , "\n., "); works just as well if the string is delimited by all periods as if it's delimited by random parts of sep.

Wow! That looks cool. I didn't know that. Now it works. Thanks for the help!
