Thread: better...

please: how can i, as example, take the n first letters from a char variable, like:

char[30]= "marcelo";

i want the 5 first ones in a new variable like:

char[5] = 5 first ones , so, char[5]="marce";

how could i do that in C?

ok, but i think its not really like that what i want to make here. the fact is that i want to insert a phrase in a loop, and every time it finds a space caracter in the phrase, i`d like it to take that word and put it in another char variable. could you help me with that?

sorry, but which is the library that contains the strtok() function?
