I'm just learning c and I barely understand what I'm doing. I have a buffer and I want to chop a word off the front, one at a time and then do something with it. Guess, I need a pointer to the buffer and be able to move it around and do I need to free anything? Cause, eventually, I'll have a while loop getting input from the user, taking the input, and chopping it up into words.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void pull_word(char *cmd, char delim) {
int i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < strlen(cmd); i++) {
if (cmd[i] == delim) break;
printf("%c", cmd[i]);
}
}
char *buffer = "ls a b c";
int main()
{
pull_word(buffer, ' '); //would print ls a b c
pull_word(buffer, ' '); //would print a b c
return 0;
}
