Question

In C how can I separate a char array by a delimiter? Or is it better to manipulate a string? What are some good C char manipulation functions?

Answer 1

#include<string.h>
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
    char input[16] = "abc,d";
    char *p;
    p = strtok(input, ",");

    if(p) {
        printf("%s\n", p);
    }
    p = strtok(NULL, ",");

    if(p)
           printf("%s\n", p);
    return 0;
}

you can look this program .First you should use the strtok(input, ",").input is the string you want to spilt.Then you use the strtok(NULL, ","). If the return value is true ,you can print the other group.
