Hi,

I'm using strtok() in the following way:

void obtain_param(char *pmsg, CONF_PARAMS *cnf ) {
	char *s1, *s2;
	size_t msg_len;

s1 = strtok (pmsg,":");
(...) 
Where did the text string passed in 'pmsg' come from?  Was it read
from a file?  If it was read from a file, was the file opened in text
or binary mode?  If you are reading a text file opened in binary mode
under Windows, you are getting the string as it appears in the file,
which would be:

   "message:this is a test\r\n"

Thanks to all for your comments. Indeed, the string I'm getting is "message:this is a test\r\n". And 'pmsg' comes also from a file. Oddly enough, I thought I opened the file in text mode. Here's the sequence of calls:

fp = open_file(argv[1], "r");
cnf = get_param(fp);

-------------
CONF_PARAMS *get_param(FILE *f_param) {
....
	p_msg = fgets(param, PARAM_LENGTH, f_param);
....
}
--------
FILE * open_file(char *file_name, char *foptions) {
	FILE *fp;
	if ((fp = fopen(file_name, foptions)) == NULL) {
		printf("Can't open %s\n", file_name);
        	exit(1);
	}
	return fp;
}

As the comments pointed out, this seems to be a Windows issue. That's why in Linux works fine. I'm not opening the file in binary mode though..
