Thanks,  I missed that fancy feature of multiple delimitates.  Another
reason to not use StrTok.

 >> I don't understand your second comment about what the delimiter was.
You tell StrTok what the delimiter is to use or it defaults to *NULL.

Yes and no.  When you specify delimiters to strtok you can specify _any_
number of different ones and also specify different ones for each
invocation.  For instance you may have a token at the beginning of a
message that is terminated by a colon - subsequent tokens are delimited by
(say) space, comma or period.  So on the first invocation you would pass
the single character for the colon and the next time pass a string
containing the three delimiters.

My comment related to the second case where strtok gives you the tokens
just fine but you don't know what the delimiter was.
