strtok

Hi all,
 
I am using the strtok api and have used it many times.  I seemed to have come 
across a situation that it is not working.  I have a string that is has 
followed:
 
Test||||||123|x|||8900
 
The problem is that the api seems to skip the delimiters that are stacked.  
This is throwing off my fields that are returned.  I thought I would get back 
blanks for each field that has nothing between the delimiters.  Instead the api 
just seems to keep looking for data to return.  Is there a way to prevent this 
or have the number of delimiters returned so I know how many fields to skip as 
well?
 
Thanks
