Re: copy of AnsiString

Nick,

You were correct on what was being returned from strtok(). It has been a
while since I had used it - strtok is one of the most weird functions in
ANSI C. I have provided, in the code below, the correct way to parse
aString using strtok().

I would be interested in how you are using the STL to accomplish this.

AnsiString aString = "Hello-There";

 char *cp1 = 0,
 *cp2 = 0,
 *holdcp;

 holdcp = new char[aString.Length()];
 strcpy (holdcp, aString.c_str() );

 cp1 = strtok (aString.c_str(), "-");
 //cp1 now points to 'Hello'

 cp2 = strtok (NULL, "\0");
 //cp2 now points to 'There'

 Memo1->Clear();
 Memo1->Lines->Add(holdcp);
 Memo1->Lines->Add(cp1);
 Memo1->Lines->Add(cp2);

 //restore the string
 aString = holdcp;
