BTW in many cases a trim function comes in handy.
For example, the fuzzy strstr() that can match a portion of the string can be replaced with an exact strcmp()
Note that the variable i in the rtrim() is local to the function, does not conflict with the variable i in main()

Hi all,
My simple AWK code does C = A - B
If C can be a negative number, how awk printf formating handles it using string format specifier.

Hi everybody,
i need help with this function, i'm programming in CGI with C and i can't make this work.

I need to match a float inside a very long string (about 5000 chars) with sscanf. (I trimmed the string in this example.) I can't seem to match all the chars that come before and after the float.

sscanf does not stop at the first "&". How can I extract "doe" ?
char A = "name=john&last=doe&job=vacant&";
char B = "last";
char C = "";
char *POINTER = strstr(A, B);
sscanf(POINTER + strlen(B), "=%s%*", C);
printf("%s\n", C); // doe&job=vacant& (2 Replies)
How can I separetely extract the string and int after "dribble" ? (sscanf must limit TEXT to 9 chars to avoid buffer overflows.)
How come this code does not work with "dribbletext08" but does with "dribbletext05" ?

strtok
STRTOK(3) Linux Programmer's Manual STRTOK(3)NAME
strtok, strtok_r - extract tokens from strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
char *strtok(char *str, const char *delim);
char *strtok_r(char *str, const char *delim, char **saveptr);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
strtok_r(): _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The strtok() function parses a string into a sequence of tokens. On the first call to strtok() the string to be parsed should be specified
in str. In each subsequent call that should parse the same string, str should be NULL.
The delim argument specifies a set of bytes that delimit the tokens in the parsed string. The caller may specify different strings in
delim in successive calls that parse the same string.
Each call to strtok() returns a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the next token. This string does not include the delimiting
byte. If no more tokens are found, strtok() returns NULL.
A sequence of two or more contiguous delimiter bytes in the parsed string is considered to be a single delimiter. Delimiter bytes at the
start or end of the string are ignored. Put another way: the tokens returned by strtok() are always nonempty strings.
The strtok_r() function is a reentrant version strtok(). The saveptr argument is a pointer to a char * variable that is used internally by
strtok_r() in order to maintain context between successive calls that parse the same string.
On the first call to strtok_r(), str should point to the string to be parsed, and the value of saveptr is ignored. In subsequent calls,
str should be NULL, and saveptr should be unchanged since the previous call.
Different strings may be parsed concurrently using sequences of calls to strtok_r() that specify different saveptr arguments.
RETURN VALUE
The strtok() and strtok_r() functions return a pointer to the next token, or NULL if there are no more tokens.
CONFORMING TO
strtok()
SVr4, POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.
strtok_r()
POSIX.1-2001.
BUGS
Be cautious when using these functions. If you do use them, note that:
* These functions modify their first argument.
* These functions cannot be used on constant strings.
* The identity of the delimiting byte is lost.
* The strtok() function uses a static buffer while parsing, so it's not thread safe. Use strtok_r() if this matters to you.
EXAMPLE
The program below uses nested loops that employ strtok_r() to break a string into a two-level hierarchy of tokens. The first command-line
argument specifies the string to be parsed. The second argument specifies the delimiter byte(s) to be used to separate that string into
"major" tokens. The third argument specifies the delimiter byte(s) to be used to separate the "major" tokens into subtokens.
An example of the output produced by this program is the following:
$ ./a.out 'a/bbb///cc;xxx:yyy:' ':;' '/'
1: a/bbb///cc
--> a
--> bbb
--> cc
2: xxx
--> xxx
3: yyy
--> yyy
Program source
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char *str1, *str2, *token, *subtoken;
char *saveptr1, *saveptr2;
int j;
if (argc != 4) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s string delim subdelim
",
argv[0]);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
for (j = 1, str1 = argv[1]; ; j++, str1 = NULL) {
token = strtok_r(str1, argv[2], &saveptr1);
if (token == NULL)
break;
printf("%d: %s
", j, token);
for (str2 = token; ; str2 = NULL) {
subtoken = strtok_r(str2, argv[3], &saveptr2);
if (subtoken == NULL)
break;
printf(" --> %s
", subtoken);
}
}
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
