    Reading individual strings from an array.

    If I have an array containing a string:

    Code:
    char line[] = "My name happens to be Foo.";
    Is there a way to read each string from the array i.e 'My' then 'name' etc? Or can I only grab individual characters.

    I've tried using 'sscanf' but I can only get that to read the first string in the array, so I repeatedly get 'My'. I guess I just assumed, incorrectly, that 'sscanf' would function in the same manner as 'fscanf'.

    Thanks.

    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
