Other people have already provided good answers.  Using C
runtime function "strtok()" is IMO probably the best
alternative.  Also, using RPG's %SCAN and %SUBST BIF's is
not an unreasonable approach either.

But since this is Friday, I thought I'd be a trouble-maker
and provide a solution in Python instead:  :-)  ;-)  :-)

--------------------------------------------
# Print words of string:
str = 'This is a   test.  And so is this.'
for word in str.split():
   print "string:\t", word
