Re: Cannot return values of char variable

Ok, here it goes.

The problem is that i cannot, like in this example, return a char[]
correctly.

in this case i have do create a void function.

Although *array[] param keeps the alteration made to it i cannot do
this function with this signature:

char divide(char search_string[], char *array[], char *delimiter)

and return correctly the string.


Can you give me some tips on how i could return a string (or char
array) in this divide function?

Thank for all the help!
--------------------------------------------


void divide(char search_string[], char *array[], char *delimiter){



int loop;



array[0]=strtok(search_string,delimiter);

if(array[0]==NULL)

{

printf("No test to search.\n");

exit(0);

}



for(loop=1;loop<50;loop++)

{

array[loop]=strtok(NULL,delimiter);

if(array[loop]==NULL)

break;

}



for(loop=0;loop<50;loop++)

{

if(array[loop]==NULL)

break;



//printf("\nDivide - array[%d] = %s", loop,array[loop]);



}

}

.
