Parallel to PHP's “explode” in C: Split char* into char* using delimiter [duplicate]

I'm searching a good way to "explode" a char* into other char* using a delimiter.

My delimiter will be #

You can use strtok like CrazyCasta said but his/hers code is wrong.

char *tok;
char *src = malloc(strlen(srcStr) + 1);
memcpy(src, srcStr);

tok = strtok(src, "#");
if(tok == NULL)
{
    printf("no tokens found");
    free(src);
    return ???;
}
printf("%s ; ", tok);
while((tok = strtok(NULL, "#")))
    printf("%s ; ", tok);
printf("\n");
free(str);

Be aware that strtok has to be called the first time with the source pointer, after that you have to use NULL. Also src must be writeable because strtok writes \0 to terminate the found strings. Hence, depending on how you read the string (and whether you are going to use it afterwards or not), you should do a copy of it. But as I said, this is not always necessary.

EDIT:

an explode function could look like this:

char *strdup(const char *src)
{
    char *tmp = malloc(strlen(src) + 1);
    if(tmp)
        strcpy(tmp, src);
    return tmp;
}

void explode(const char *src, const char *tokens, char ***list, size_t *len)
{   
    if(src == NULL || list == NULL || len == NULL)
        return;

    char *str, *copy, **_list = NULL, **tmp;
    *list = NULL;
    *len  = 0;

    copy = strdup(src);
    if(copy == NULL)
        return;

    str = strtok(copy, tokens);
    if(str == NULL)
        goto free_and_exit;

    _list = realloc(NULL, sizeof *_list);
    if(_list == NULL)
        goto free_and_exit;

    _list[*len] = strdup(str);
    if(_list[*len] == NULL)
        goto free_and_exit;
    (*len)++;


    while((str = strtok(NULL, tokens)))
    {   
        tmp = realloc(_list, (sizeof *_list) * (*len + 1));
        if(tmp == NULL)
            goto free_and_exit;

        _list = tmp;

        _list[*len] = strdup(str);
        if(_list[*len] == NULL)
            goto free_and_exit;
        (*len)++;
    }


free_and_exit:
    *list = _list;
    free(copy);
}

then you have to call it:

char **list;
size_t i, len;
explode("this;is;a;string", ";", &list, &len);
for(i = 0; i < len; ++i)
    printf("%d: %s\n", i+1, list[i]);

/* free list */
for(i = 0; i < len; ++i)
    free(list[i]);
free(list);

this is an example running with valgrind:

valgrind ./a

==18675== 
==18675== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v
==18675== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 4 from 4)

Generally this is what the strtok function is for:

char* tok;
tok = strtok(srcStr, "#");

while(tok != NULL)
{
    // Do stuff with tok
    tok = strtok(NULL, "#");
}
