Trouble with strtok()

I'm using this command-line parameters in my executable:

myprogram.exe c:\programmi\driver.exe c:\programmi\seti.exe

My code looks for the parameter, it is cut in 2 pieces divided by the "space" and I want to save the 2 pieces.. then every piece is cut in smaller pieces divided by "\" untill I get the executable name.. so at the end I want to print the 2 path i gave as parameter and the name of the 2 exe found in the path given :

Code:

---

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


  int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, char * lpCmdLine, int  nCmdShow)

 {

  char separatoriexe[] = "\\";
  char separatori[] = " ";
  char *seti;
  char *tempseti;
  char *tempdriver;
  char *setiexe;
  char *driver;
  char *driverexe;

  driver = strtok( lpCmdLine, separatori );
  seti = strtok( NULL, separatori );
     
  tempseti = strtok( seti, separatoriexe );
    while( tempseti != NULL )
  {
      setiexe = tempseti;
      tempseti = strtok( NULL, separatoriexe );
     
  }
 
  tempdriver = strtok( driver, separatoriexe );
    while( tempdriver != NULL )
  {
      driverexe = tempdriver;
      tempdriver = strtok( NULL, separatoriexe );
     
  }

  printf( "Driver: %s\n", driver );
  printf( "Seti: %s\n", seti ); 
  printf( "Exe di Seti: %s\n", setiexe );
  printf( "Exe di Driver: %s\n", driverexe );
 
   
  system("PAUSE");       
  return 0;
 }

But it seems that the strtok modify the string after the manipulation...what should I do to conserve the strings (I need them in all the code so I HAVE to conserve them)??

I get this wrong output:

Quote:

---

Driver: c:
Seti: c:
Exe di Seti: seti.exe
Exe di Driver: driver.exe

---

Instead this one that is right:

Quote:

---

Driver: c:\programmi\driver\driver.exe
Seti: c:\programmi\driver\seti.exe
Exe di Seti: seti.exe
Exe di Driver: driver.exe

:confused: help please :(

The problem is that strtok() replaces the delimiter with a null character. Since strings are null terminated it only display the first part.

Look into strchr() and strncpy() for your solution.

thanx very much for the help..

i've added

char setipath[MAX_PATH];
char driverpath[MAX_PATH];

...
...
...

strcpy (setipath, seti);
strcpy (driverpath, driver);


and it works ;)
