Token Problem

[|PiD|]

lo
I have created a function that reads characters from the keyboard into a buffer. It terminates on reading a return or on recieving 128 characters.

I now want to create a function that will take a token from this buffer and place it in another array.
eg
if i got:
test test2
I would want test holding in the array, with the space being the separator.

Ne suggestions would be very welcome, code is show below.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

	int i;
	char inbuff[128];
	FILE *fp;

main() 
{
	void query();
	char *gettoken(char sep);

	char inbuff[128];

	query();

return 0;
 
}


/*Reads characters from input stream into a buffer*/
void query()
{ 	char c;

	fp=stdin;
	i=0;

	while ( (i<128) && (c!='\n') )
	{
		c=fgetc(fp);
		inbuff[i]=c;
		i++;
	}

	inbuff[i]='\0';

printf( "Currently in the buffer: %s\n", inbuff );

}

Suggestions:

- don't use global variables unless you really need to. I see no reason to in your program.

- Your input loop could fill all 128 bytes of the array, meaning the \0 byte will be written to position 129, which is outside the array bounds.

- char c; The variable should be declared as an int to allow you to trap EOF.

- Read up about fgets() and reading input

Once you've done the reading, loop through the array, copying the bits you want to another array.
