Re: STRTOK question?

Hello Kim,

If you intend doing much with the C functions you will need to get familiar 
with the C 
runtime function reference manual -- RTFM.

The example in the Redbook starts out with a single delimiter (the colon) but 
uses comma, 
full-stop, semi-colon, colon, and space as the delimiters for the subsequent 
calls.

The strtok() function allows you to change the delimiters on each call.  You 
simply need 
to use the colon on all calls.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.

seperates this part of the string into 'blue' , 'tu' and 'z2'.   Is there a way 
to stop 
'strtok' from reading the spaces/blanks as delimiters. I need 'blue tu z2' to 
be one 
token, not broken into three tokens.
