split text

[qiqinuinaifen128]

How can i split the text that key in by user, for example if the user key in "MoveForward To 123", how can i split the "MoveForward" to one field, "To" in to one field and 123 in to another field..

below is my simple print and scanf

char y;
printf("Please Enter Your Command:");
scanf("%s", &y);

You can use strtok function to separate words. Be careful with string manipulation functions as they are mostly unsafe (BO). BTW your code corrupts memory.

example that uses gets to get input and strtok to split words:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
	char buf[1024];
	char *token;
	char seps[] = " ";

	gets(buf);	//unsafe when input bigger than 1023 chars
	token = strtok(buf,seps);
	while( token != NULL )
	{
		printf( "%s\n", token );
		token = strtok( NULL, seps );
	}

	return 0;
}

So use fgets() and save a disclaimer.
[tt]fgets( buf, sizeof buf, stdin );[/tt]

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.

Depending on usage watch out for stdios buffering...man setvbuf and man fflush.
