My assignment is to get a substring from a string called *src. The substring may be chars, words, items, fields, or records as determined by delims.
First off, im not sure how to "get" a substring from another string. secondly, i know what a char is, but i dont know how to get words, items, or fields. Third, whats a delim?

Look at the strstr(), strchr() and strcpy() functions.im not sure how to "get" a substring from another string.
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
Im pretty new a c but i guess you would just write a function that would loop through the char array (string) copy a section of the array. Obviously you would have to pass the string(array), starting point and ending point to split from and the size of the array .(or you could just pass one endPoint and copy from the start of the string to that point).
I actually always had trouble returning a string because its and array. Im sure theres ways round this but usually i pass the array im going to return to aswell and put the value in there in the function.
ie. instead of
string = StrSplit(SplitMeString,startingPoint,endingPoint,s ize);
StrSplit(SplitMeString,startingPoint,endingPoint,s ize,string)
