Thread: something like strtok

i fix it

Code:

     char *new;
    
    i=0;
    len=strlen(t);
   while(i<len && t[i]!='\0'){
        if(t[i]== ' '){
          last=i;
          t[i]='\0';
          printf(t);
          }
          i++;
          new = &t[i];
          }

and now it prints me only hello
can i drop it immediatly on the list know or i should use another array?
and i use pointer new to catch the new adress of the string "wor"
but how will make this for any string? I mean in the while loop in the if statement know i should check for the pointer new if has a space?

Sure, just strcpy() to copy the string. But next you need to move the looking for next space by looking from "t[i]" onwards. So you probably should introduce another char pointer, which starts at the beginning of "t", then moves to "t[i]" when the space has been found.

I would also use a for-loop, rather than a while-loop, since you are just counting up i all the time. Also you need to copy the last string, even if you don't find a space.

I used your program as a template, and came up with this. It's not very elegant, but it's clear what it's doing, I think.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)  {
  int len,l;
  char t[]="hello world how are you";
  int c, i, last, count;
  int offset = 0;
  char *words[10] = {0};
  char *new;

  len=strlen(t);

  for(i = 0, count = 0; i <= len; i++)
    if(t[i]==' ' || i == len) {
      t[i]='\0';
      
      if(offset == 0) 
        words[count] = malloc(i * sizeof(char));
      else 
        words[count] = malloc(offset * sizeof(char));
        
      strcpy(words[count], t + offset);      
      count++;
      offset = i + 1;
   }
   for(i = 0; i < count; i++)
     printf("\n &#37;s", words[i]);

   printf("\n\n Press Enter When Ready ");
   c = getchar();

   return 0;
}

sizeof(char) is always 1, and I have a sneaking suspicion that you're malloc()'ing one less byte than you ought to be . . . .

Oh, and l (lowercase L) is an absolutely stupid name for a variable -- it looks just like a 1.
