parsing function

[pAces]

I have a string "M 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" that I got from the function gets() (serial communication). Is there a parse function in ccs c that will split the numbers (1,2,3,4..) and put them in an int 9 elements array?

I don't think there is a function that will do all you want, but have a look at the standard C function strtok(), this comes very close. Strtok will split your string into 'tokens', giving you a pointer to the first token and on every subsequent call a pointer to the next token. At first use I found this function a bit confusing but study the example code in ex_str.c or search the internet for more documentation.

To use strtok() you will have to include <string.h> in your program.
