c++ - Splitting char array -

i have char **names array stores names file.

this .txt file

mike, sam, stuart andre, williams, phillips patels, khan, smith 

basically, want split , store names before , character. example, mike, sam, stuart become...

newname[0] = mike newname[1] = sam newname[2] = stuart 

i have this...

for (int i=0; i<3; i++) {   (int j=60, j>0; j--)   {      if(names[i][j] == ',')      {         cout << j << endl; //this prints out position. how can store position , something?      }   } } 

i appreciate if me code, in right direction. don't want use vectors classes

i have attempted store marks of these students, want add double *marks[2] array.

this .txt file...

69.9, 56.5 29.8, 20.0 35.6, 45.0 

this code...

char **values; char * pch; pch = strtok (values[i], " ,"); while (pch != null) {     sscanf(pch, "%f, %f", &marks[i][0], &marks[i][1]);     pch = strtok (null, " ,"); } 

i getting random values such 1.28277e-307 , 1.96471e+257

look strtok command helpful you.

this code looks hyphen characters , prints stuff... change commas

#include <string.h> #include <stdio.h>  int main() {    const char str[80] = "this - www.tutorialspoint.com - website";    const char s[2] = "-";     char * newname[100]; /* @ 100 names */    int icurname = 0;      char *token;     /* first token */    token = strtok(str, s);     /* walk through other tokens */    while( token != null )     {       printf( " %s\n", token );       newname[icurname] = malloc (char *) (strlen(token) + 1);       strcpy(newname[icurname],token);       icurrname ++;        token = strtok(null, s);    }     return(0); }
