RE: strtok and consecutive delimiters

Yep, and this is the code I use in the RPG ToolKit:

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

/*
 * Get next token from string *stringp, where tokens are possibly-empty
 * strings separated by characters from delim.  
 *
 * Writes NULs into the string at *stringp to end tokens.
 * delim need not remain constant from call to call.
 * On return, *stringp points past the last NUL written (if there might
 * be further tokens), or is NULL (if there are definitely no more tokens).
 *
 * If *stringp is NULL, strsep returns NULL.
 */
char* strsep(char** stringp, const char* delim)
{
        char *s = NULL;
        const char *spanp;
        int c=0;
      int sc=0;
        char *tok=NULL;

        if ((s = *stringp) == NULL) {
                return (NULL);
        }
        for (tok = s;;) {
                c = *s++;
                spanp = delim;
                do {
                        if ((sc = *spanp++) == c) {
                                if (c == 0) {
                                        s = NULL;
                                } else {
                                        s[-1] = 0;
                                }
                                *stringp = s;
                                return (tok);
                        }
                } while (sc != 0);
        }
}

FWIW, as far as I can tell, the only differences between strtok() 
and strsep() are that the former can't handle empty strings and the 
latter is not ANSI.
