To show: How to use strtok()/strtok_s() C function to find a next token in a string

// In this program, a loop uses strtok_s(), a secure version of the strtok() to print all the tokens (separated by commas or blanks) in two strings at the same time

// Other version wcstok() - wide character/unicode, _mbstok() - multibyte

#include <string.h>

#include <stdio.h>

// Global variables

char string1[] = "A string\tof ,,tokens\nand some more tokens";

char string2[] = "Another string\n\tparsed at the same time.";

char seps[] = " ,\t\n";

char *token1,

*token2,

*next_token1,

*next_token2;

int main(void)

{

printf( "Tokens:\n" );

// Establish string and get the first token:

token1 = strtok_s( string1, seps, &next_token1);

token2 = strtok_s ( string2, seps, &next_token2);

// While there are tokens in "string1" or "string2"

while ((token1 != NULL) || (token2 != NULL))

{

// Get next token:

if (token1 != NULL)

{

printf( " %s\n", token1 );

token1 = strtok_s( NULL, seps, &next_token1);

}

if (token2 != NULL)

{

printf(" %s\n", token2 );

token2 = strtok_s (NULL, seps, &next_token2);

}

}

}
