Thread: program hangs

Could you tell me why in the following code it works fine if I take the 'while' loop out but as it stands it outputs all the parts of 'today' that it has parsed out and then hangs.

Code:

#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <array>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
time_t now;
now=time(NULL);
char * today=ctime(&now);
cout<<"The date is: "<<today<<endl;

array<string,7> info = {{"a", "a", "a", "a", "a", "a", "a"}};
//day month date hour minute second year

char *temp;
int x=0;
temp = strtok (today," :");
info[x]=temp;

while (today != NULL)
        {
        cout<<temp<<endl;
        x++;
        temp = strtok (NULL, " :");
        info[x]=temp;
        }

for(int x(0);x<=6;x++)
cout<<"Info ["<<x<<"] is : "<<info[x]<<endl;

return 0;
}
