I've filtered almost every delimiter I could think of when processing text files. I'm curious if it's possible to filter out quotation marks " " in the delimiter string that I pass to the strtok function. It would be a lot simpler than stripping them out of the string before storing it. It doesn't really work if you enter a single quotation mark because it closes the initial quotation mark for the delimiter string.
char *delim = " .<>!/:" => another quotation mark will just screw it up

Sure anytime you need to add a quotation mark to a string, just escape it first with a backslash (similar to adding a newline):
Code:char *delim = "\"";
Never heard of an escape?Originally Posted by John_L
Code:char *delim = ".<>!/:\"";
no i havn't, but thanks for the tip
Yep. You can put a " character in a string by preceding it with a backslash.
And make sure that get the backup of the original string before u send it strtok. Since Strtok damage the string. I mean u won't get original string back. If you need that for future reference in the code.the delimiter string that I pass to the strtok function
