I'm new to C language and want to explode a string like we do in PHP explode() function, I searched for a built-in function with the C standard library, and I found strtok , but It doesn't support empty tokens like 1,2,3,,5 . Inspired by the answers I found in this SO question I made this function, it is supposed to be thread safe and support empty tokens and doesn't change the original string
char* strTok(char** newString, char* delimiter)
{
char* string = *newString;
char* delimiterFound = (char*) 0;
int tokLenght = 0;
char* tok = (char*) 0;
if(!string) return (char*) 0;
delimiterFound = strstr(string, delimiter);
if(delimiterFound){
tokLenght = delimiterFound-string;
}else{
tokLenght = strlen(string);
}
tok = malloc(tokLenght + 1);
memcpy(tok, string, tokLenght);
tok[tokLenght] = '';
*newString = delimiterFound ? delimiterFound + strlen(delimiter) : (char*)0;
return tok;
}
I designed it to be used like
char* input = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,,,10,";
char** inputP = &input;
char* tok;
while( (tok=strTok(inputP, ",")) ){
printf("%sn", tok);
}

delimiterFound + strlen(delimiter)sounds like a bug. If the delimiter is longer than one character,*newStringwill point too far into the original, maybe even beyond the end. Correct me if I am wrong,delimiterFound + 1is what you are actually after.
Modern C allows, and strongly encourages, to declare variables as close to their use a possible. Consider
char * delimiterFound = strstr(string, delimiter);
....
char * tok = malloc(tokLenght + 1);
etc.
Always test that
mallocdidn't fail.
More spaces - around keywords, braces, etc - definitely improve readability:

From a readability viewpoint, you should use NULL instead of (char*) 0 as it is easier to recognize what you're trying to do. Also, the tokLenght misspells "length", and should probably be tokLength.
You leak memory, as the memory allocated to hold the returned string is never freed.

It's a matter of style, and including.hif you want to useNULL. However, you don't have to cast(char *)0, just use0(orNULL.) It knows from the return type.

It's a matter of style, and including
.h if you want to use NULL. However, you don't have to cast (char *)0, just use 0 (or NULL.) It knows from the return type.$endgroup$

It's not in the standard
Clibraries, but inPOSIX, (any type ofgcc.) However, likestrtok, it obliterates thecharto replace it with, so it's not the same.$endgroup$
