strtok wont work correctly when using char *str as the first parameter (not the delimiters string).
does it have something to do with the area that allocates strings in that notation? (which as far as i know, is a read-only area).

thanks in advance

example:

  //char* str ="- This, a sample string.";   // <---doesn't work
  char str[] ="- This, a sample string.";   // <---works

char delims[] = " "; char * pch; printf ("Splitting string \"%s\" into tokens:\n",str); pch = strtok (str,delims); while (pch != NULL) {

 printf ("%s\n",pch);
 pch = strtok (NULL, delims);

} return 0;
