I want to break down a sentence and store each string in an array. Here is my code:
#include
#include
int main(void)
{
int
Have a look at the example in the docs:
char * strtok ( char * str, const char * delimiters );
...where...
str - C string to truncate. The contents of this string are modified and broken into smaller strings (tokens). Alternativelly, a null pointer may be specified, in which case the function continues scanning where a previous successful call to the function ended.
delimiters - C string containing the delimiters. These may vary from one call to another.
Return Value - A pointer to the last token found in string. A null pointer is returned if there are no tokens left to retrieve.
You need that first string to me modifiable and you need to allocate memory for the outputs e.g.
int main(void)
{
int i = 0;
const int numOfStrings = 128;
char* strArray[numOfStrings];
char writablestring[]= "The C Programming Language";
char *token = strtok(writablestring, " ");
for( int j = 0; j < numOfStrings; j++ )
{
strArray[j] = new char[40];
}
while(token != NULL)
{
strcpy(strArray[i], token);
printf("[%s]\n", token);
token = strtok(NULL, " ");
i++;
}
return 0;
}
