NAME
ne_token, ne_qtoken - string tokenizers
SYNOPSIS
#include <ne_string.h>
char *ne_token(char **str, char sep);
char *ne_qtoken(char **str, char sep, const char *quotes);
DESCRIPTION
ne_token and ne_qtoken tokenize the string at the location stored in
the pointer str. Each time the function is called, it returns the next
token, and modifies the str pointer to point to the remainder of the
string, or NULL if there are no more tokens in the string. A token is
delimited by the separator character sep; if ne_qtoken is used any
quoted segments of the string are skipped when searching for a
separator. A quoted segment is enclosed in a pair of one of the
characters given in the quotes string.
The string being tokenized is modified each time the tokenizing
function is called; replacing the next separator character with a NUL
terminator.
EXAMPLES
The following function prints out each token in a comma-separated
string list, which is modified in-place:
static void splitter(char *list)
{
do {
printf("Token: %s\n", ne_token(&list, ','));
while (list);
}
