Parsing a String into Tokens Using strcspn, Part 2

#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { const char *line[] = { "text1|text2|text3", "text1||text3\n", "" }; size_t j; for ( j = 0; j < sizeof line / sizeof *line; ++j ) { const char *token = line[j]; /* point to the beginning of the line */ printf("line %d:\n", j); for ( ;; ) { size_t len = strcspn(token, "|\n"); /* search for delimiters */ /* * Print the found text: use len with %.*s to specify field width. */ printf(" -> \"%.*s\"\n", (int)len, token); /* * Instead of the above, you could use sprint to copy the text into * a char array. */ token += len; /* advance pointer by the length of the found text */ if ( *token == '\0' ) { break; /* advanced to the terminating null character */ } ++token; /* skip the delimiter */ } } return 0; } /* my output line 0: -> "text1" -> "text2" -> "text3" line 1: -> "text1" -> "" -> "text3" -> "" line 2: -> "" */
