hello @dhruvilcodes
first read it as string
and then use strtok function with delimeter - to parse it

it is “–” I am not getting it I can parse by - but can’t by double dash

#4

yeah that may cause some issue becuase compiler treats each character of delimeter string (the string we pass in strtok) as delimeter.

pls share ur code that u r running

Hello sir ACTUALLY I RUN THIS AND IT WORKED;

while(token!=NULL)

    {

        strcpy(part[i],token);

        token=strtok(NULL,"-");

        i++;

    }
#6

u r passing single dash here

#7

its working even for double dash

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

int main () {
   char str[80] = "Dhruvil Doshi--11/02/2019--Google Corp";
   const char s[3] = "--";
   char *token;
   
   token = strtok(str, s);
   

   while( token != NULL ) {
      printf( " %s\n", token );
    
      token = strtok(NULL, s);
   }
   
   return(0);
}

cleared my doubt but sir now I have doubt why my single dash worked?

#9

double dash is being treated as two single dash so ur string is just equvalent to some english characters along with pair of single characters.

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

int main () {
   char str[80] = "Dhruvil Doshiasdf11/02/2019asdfGoogle Corp";
   const char s[5] = "asdf";
   char *token;
   
   /* get the first token */
   token = strtok(str, s);
   
   /* walk through other tokens */
   while( token != NULL ) {
      printf( " %s\n", token );
    
      token = strtok(NULL, s);
   }
   
   return(0);
}

run this and check what output u r getting.
