Answer 1

Correct. The documentation states this pretty clearly:

A sequence of two or more contiguous delimiter characters in the parsed string is considered to be a single delimiter.

That's just how strtok() is supposed to work. You might be better of rolling your own, which will also free you from strtok()'s nastiness.

Answer 2

Short answer: NO At least using strtok, check this to learn what's better for your application.
