Need help using fgets and sscanf to parse input

[anonymous]

I'm having a LOT of trouble figuring out how to read input from a file into my program. This file contains lines with an arbitrary number of words in them. For example:

This is one line in my file
However the next line has far more words in it
This has the least

I'm trying to read each whole line, then read each word from the line, as follows:

while (fgets(line, MAX_LINE_LEN, inputfile) != NULL)
{
    while (sscanf(line, "%s", word) == 1)
    {
        /* Do something with the word */
     }
}
 

However, sscanf doesn't consume input from 'line', so it continually reads the first word. Can I step through the line I've read from the file and read out each word from it without mucking around with getc() and isalpha() ??

Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated :)

You might want to look into using strtok() to break your line into pieces that you can pick out. Here's a good reference if your not familiar with it...
