Installation

1. Clone the repo

> git clone https://github.com/Mantra-Coding/strsplit

2. Move strsplit.c and strsplit.h into your project folder

Usage

strsplit's signature is

char** strsplit(char* string, char delimiter, int* length);

Where char* string is the string you want to split, char delimiter is the delimiter to separate strings and int* length is a pointer which will be the length of the resulting array.

// Example: split a const string passed as parameter
#include "strsplit.h"

int main() {
	int words;
	char** split = strsplit("split this string into an array of strings", ' ', &words);
	for (int i = 0; i < words; i++) {
		printf("%s\n", split[i]);
	}
	/* Output:
	split
	this
	string
	into
	an
	array
	of
	strings
	*/
}
