hiee everyone..
i wanted to know about how to break a string into tokens.I have a file and i need to read 16 characters at a time at the display.so i need to break the file after every 16 bits.i know the string tokenizer function in java but em not very sure about C.plz help me with this.
Thanx,

Look up strtok(), but I'm not sure that's what you really want. Can you describe your problem a different way?
16 chars and 16 bits are different things
to read fixed number of bytes - use fread
to read upto fixed number of bytes or the new line symbol - use fgets
All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

actually i have a text file.i need to read and dislay the file on an LCD which takes 16 characters at a time.so i need to break the file after every 16 characters and then call the display function.i am not sure about how to do this in C
Here is the pseudocode
The buffer is 1 byte longer if you want to put zero char before priniting at the endCode:char buf[17]; int len; while((len = fread(buf,16,f)) > 0) display(buf,len);
If you need special processing for several chars like EndOfLine - read 16 chars in loop and then print them
