Bif or c function with delimeters

If I have a list of items in a single string ie:
Fred;tom;my house;horse

And I wanted to quickly loop through an unknown amount of items... If there
a bif or c function, that does this?

1st pass, I would want 'fred'  2nd ='tom' .....

I was thinking about scan, to put the ';' locations in an array, and loop
through, but I was wondering, if there was anything prettier, that scanning
the string one character at a time...

Thanks, Tim
