Split line

Hello All,


I'm trying to split a line like this:

15 /usr/bin/php /html/echo.php 8

I split paramaters using space char as the delimiter. I need to put the first par (15) and a variable and all the rest to another variable. I've tryed to do this using strtok, I can read all the params but didnt had success to put all the other pars to one unique variable.

Here is a small part of my code:

Code:

---

                                while(c<1000) {
                                        if(c==0) {
                                                strcpy(comando,token);
                                        } else { //if(c==1) {
                                                strcpy(valor,token);
                                                x = strlen(valor)-1;
                                                if(valor[x] == CHAR_RETURN) {
                                                        puts("fim!");
                                                        break;
                                                }
                                        }

                                        printf("valor: [%s]\n",valor);
                                        printf("Xtoken: [%s]\n",token);

                                        token = strtok( NULL, CHAR_DELIM );
                                        printf("token2: [%s]\n",token);
                                        printf("before->buffer: [%s]\n",token);
                                        sprintf(buffer,"%s %s",buffer,token);
                                        printf("after->buffer: [%s]\n",token);
                                        printf("===========> c: [%d]\n",c);
                                        c++;
                                }

---

Can anybody point me a better way to do this ?

Thanks in advance,

> strcpy(valor,token);
It sounds like you want to concatenate the parameters, so this would be:
strcat(valor,token);

Then before the while() loop, you would need:
valor[0] = '\0';

And you probably want them separated by a space so:

Code:

---

strcat(valor,token);
strcat(valor," ");

---

Well, I think I´ve found a better way of doing what I need. I´ve done this:

Code:

---

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

main() {
        //char line[]="Hello World !!";
        //char line[]="Hello My Big World !! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0";
        char line[]="Hello My Big World";
        //char line[]="15 /usr/bin/php /html/echo.php 8";
        //char line[BUFSIZ];
        //strcpy(line,"Hello My Big World");

        func(line);
}

func(char *ptr) {

        int y=0,c=0,n,len=0,x=0;
        char periodicidade[BUFSIZ];
        char path[BUFSIZ];
        char field[BUFSIZ];
        char *p_texto = ptr;

          while ( sscanf(ptr, "%50[^ ]%*c%n", field, &n) == 1 )
          {
                len = strlen(ptr);
                ptr += n;
                switch(c) {
                        case 0:
                                strcpy(periodicidade,field);
                                printf("field[%d]: [%s]\n",c,field);
                                break;
                        /*
                        case 1:
                                printf("field[%d]: [%s]\n",c,field);
                                break;
                        case 2:
                                printf("field[%d]: [%s]\n",c,field);
                                break;
                        */
                        default:
                                strcat(path,field);
                                strcat(path," ");
                                printf("default->field[%d]: [%s]\n",c,field);
                                break;
                } //switch
                c++;
            } //while

        puts("");
        puts("=====================================================");
        printf("periodicidade: [%s]\n",periodicidade);
        printf("path: [%s]\n",path);

}

---

The result was:
field[0]: [Hello]
default->field[1]: [My]
default->field[2]: [Big]
default->field[3]: [World]
default->field[4]: [d]
default->field[5]: [@]

================================================== ===
periodicidade: [Hello]
path: [My Big World d @ ]


As we can see at the end of the string there are some trashed chars... I think that is info on memory...
Can anyone explain what is this and how to take it off ?

Thanks again,

It's trash from your memory and it usually tells, there's something went wrong unless you haven't purposly done so.
You force sscanf read after end of your initialized character array.
and here's scanf format for you which propably fits in this case. "%s%n"

Well it didn´t realy work !

Code:

---

while ( sscanf(ptr, "%50[^ ]%*s%n", field, &n) == 1 )

---

It produces the following:
field[0]: [Hello]

================================================== ===
periodicidade: [Hello]
path: []

Dont know what to do....

Thanks,

Well it's not really a better way if it doesn't work, now is it?

How could you possibly expect that to work? You have three fields, but you try and display five. What would you expect to be in the last two?

Why don't you just do it the easy way:

Code:

---

while we still have a string
    skip all the spaces
    copy everything until a space into some place else
    add a null onto this 'some place else' so it's a valid string

---

That's the basic process, and it's quite simple. I'll leave the implementation to you. Or ignore it as you see fit.

Quzah.

sscanf(ptr, "%s%n", field, &n)

Try again...

Hey, thanks alot tjohnsson.

It worked !
