Supposing I have this:
"foo bar 1 and foo bar 2"
How can I split it into:
foo bar 1
foo bar 2
?
I tried strtok()
and strsep()
but neither worked. They don't recognize "and" as delimiter, the开发者_运维问答y recognize "a", "n" and "d" as delimiters.
Any function to help me with this or I'll have to split by the blank space and do some string manipulation?
You can use strstr() to find the first " and ", and "tokenize" the string yourself by just skipping forward so many characters, and doing it again.
The primary problem with splitting strings in C is that it inevitably results in some dynamic memory management, and that tends to be avoided by the standard library whenever possible. That is why none of the standard C functions deal with dynamic memory allocation, only malloc/calloc/realloc do that.
But it is not too difficult to do this oneself. Let me walk you through it.
We need to return a number of strings, and the easiest way to do that is to return an array of pointers to strings, which is terminated by a NULL item. Except for the final NULL, each element in the array points to a dynamically allocated string.
First we need a couple of helper functions to deal with such arrays. The easiest one is one that computes the number of strings (elements before the final NULL):
/* Return length of a NULL-delimited array of strings. */
size_t str_array_len(char **array)
{
size_t len;
for (len = 0; array[len] != NULL; ++len)
continue;
return len;
}
Another easy one is the function for freeing the array:
/* Free a dynamic array of dynamic strings. */
void str_array_free(char **array)
{
if (array == NULL)
return;
for (size_t i = 0; array[i] != NULL; ++i)
free(array[i]);
free(array);
}
Somewhat more complicated is the function that adds a copy of a string to the array. It needs to handle a number of special cases, such as when the array does not exist yet (the whole array is NULL). Also, it needs to handle strings that are not terminated with '\0' so that it is easier for our actual splitting function to just use parts of the input string when appending.
/* Append an item to a dynamically allocated array of strings. On failure,
return NULL, in which case the original array is intact. The item
string is dynamically copied. If the array is NULL, allocate a new
array. Otherwise, extend the array. Make sure the array is always
NULL-terminated. Input string might not be '\0'-terminated. */
char **str_array_append(char **array, size_t nitems, const char *item,
size_t itemlen)
{
/* Make a dynamic copy of the item. */
char *copy;
if (item == NULL)
copy = NULL;
else {
copy = malloc(itemlen + 1);
if (copy == NULL)
return NULL;
memcpy(copy, item, itemlen);
copy[itemlen] = '\0';
}
/* Extend array with one element. Except extend it by two elements,
in case it did not yet exist. This might mean it is a teeny bit
too big, but we don't care. */
array = realloc(array, (nitems + 2) * sizeof(array[0]));
if (array == NULL) {
free(copy);
return NULL;
}
/* Add copy of item to array, and return it. */
array[nitems] = copy;
array[nitems+1] = NULL;
return array;
}
That's a moutful. For really good style, it would have been better to split off the making of a dynamic copy if the input item to its own function, but I will leave that as an excercise to the reader.
Finally, we have the actual splitting function. It, also, needs to handle some special cases:
- The input string might start or end with the separator.
- There might be separators right next to each other.
- The input string might not include the separator at all.
I have opted to add an empty string to the result if the separator is right next to the start or end of the input string, or right next to another separator. If you need something else, you need to tweak the code.
Other than the special cases, and some error handling, the splitting is now reasonably straightforward.
/* Split a string into substrings. Return dynamic array of dynamically
allocated substrings, or NULL if there was an error. Caller is
expected to free the memory, for example with str_array_free. */
char **str_split(const char *input, const char *sep)
{
size_t nitems = 0;
char **array = NULL;
const char *start = input;
char *next = strstr(start, sep);
size_t seplen = strlen(sep);
const char *item;
size_t itemlen;
for (;;) {
next = strstr(start, sep);
if (next == NULL) {
/* Add the remaining string (or empty string, if input ends with
separator. */
char **new = str_array_append(array, nitems, start, strlen(start));
if (new == NULL) {
str_array_free(array);
return NULL;
}
array = new;
++nitems;
break;
} else if (next == input) {
/* Input starts with separator. */
item = "";
itemlen = 0;
} else {
item = start;
itemlen = next - item;
}
char **new = str_array_append(array, nitems, item, itemlen);
if (new == NULL) {
str_array_free(array);
return NULL;
}
array = new;
++nitems;
start = next + seplen;
}
if (nitems == 0) {
/* Input does not contain separator at all. */
assert(array == NULL);
array = str_array_append(array, nitems, input, strlen(input));
}
return array;
}

Here's a nice short example I just wrote up showing how to use strstr
to split a string on a given string:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void split(char *phrase, char *delimiter)
{
char *loc = strstr(phrase, delimiter);
if (loc == NULL)
{
printf("Could not find delimiter\n");
}
else
{
char buf[256]; /* malloc would be much more robust here */
int length = strlen(delimiter);
strncpy(buf, phrase, loc - phrase);
printf("Before delimiter: '%s'\n", buf);
printf("After delimiter: '%s'\n", loc+length);
}
}
int main()
{
split("foo bar 1 and foo bar 2", "and");
printf("-----\n");
split("foo bar 1 and foo bar 2", "quux");
return 0;
}
Output:
Before delimiter: 'foo bar 1 ' After delimiter: ' foo bar 2' ----- Could not find delimiter
Of course, I haven't fully tested it, and it's probably vulnerable to most of the standard buffer overflow issues related to string lengths; but it's a demonstrable example at the very least.
If you know the type of delimiter example comma or semicolon you can try with this:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int i=0,temp=0,temp1=0, temp2=0;
char buff[12]="123;456;789";
for(i=0;buff[i]!=';',i++)
{
temp=temp*10+(buff[i]-48);
}
for(i=0;buff[i]!=';',i++)
{
temp1=temp1*10+(buff[i]-48);
}
for(i=0;buff[i],i++)
{
temp2=temp2*10+(buff[i]-48);
}
printf("temp=%d temp1=%d temp2=%d",temp,temp1,temp2);
getch();
return 0;
}
Output:
temp=123 temp1=456 temp2=789
