hello,
i am writing a GPS app in evc++ 4.0, i am using c-style char* instead
of CStrings, i want to parse NMEA sentence such as
"GPZDA,162913.4 8,19,08,2005,,* 63"
problem is when i use strtok it ignores an empty data field
below is the output for the sentence above
"GPZDA"
"162913.48"
"19"
"08"
"2005"
"*63"
you see it ignores the ",," empty data field before the "*63" field
i understand this is the case of 2 delimiters in a row with , and this
is the
normal behavior for strtok().
how can i modify my code in order to recognize the empty data field?
i want a way to read this field, so i want the output for the above
sentence
as
"GPZDA"
"162913.48"
"19"
"08"
"2005"
""
"*63"
below is my code
<code>
char s[512];
char seps[] = ",";
char *token;
....
//after reading NMEA sentence from serial port and verifying its
checksum is //correct
if(Is_Sentence_ Checksum_Valid( s))
{
printf("%s\r\n" ,s);
token = strtok(s, seps );
while( token != NULL )
{
//While there are tokens in sentence s
printf( " %s\n", token );
// Get next token:
token = strtok( NULL, seps );
}
strcpy(s,"");
}
</code>
thanks for your help

As long as you use strtok() it obviously won't work. It's easy enough to roll
your own version that doesn't eat empty fields. Create a function with a couple
of static ptrs to hold you over...
char * mytok(char *str, char *seps) {
static char *base, *p = NULL;
char *ep;
if( str ) base = p = str; // initial conditions
if( !p ) return ""; // never fail
... etc.
}

I tried to convert string data type to char type so

I have used c_str(). However, still getting error message

Any help would be appreciate.

I need to break a longer string (with strtok()) and store the smaller
strings in an array. since the number of small strings is not
fixed/known, I cannot use a declaration like char *format, so I
declared char** format = NULL;
Now the problem starts. Each time strtok() returns me a token (which is
char*), I call malloc() and I (want to) store the address returned in
the array format, and copy the token to that address.

I'm having a strange error when I try reading from a file. here is the
code:
buffstring values = 1, 2, 3, 4 and then it crashes afterwards on the
4th iteration.
This works fine until the fourth iteration.
breaks on this line: buffString = new char;
The contents of the text file it is reading:
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,5,6,7,8,9
2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2
3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3

How do I convert the type const char* to type char*?
I have an input string ("input_string") of class string. I need
to convert this to type char* in order to use it in a call to the
strtok() function. However, the .c_str() string class function
returns type const char*.
The relevant code may be found below. My compiler returns the
error "invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*'".
