Split C string into tokens using sscanf

Question

I\'m trying to split a string into tokens but somewhat recursively. I am trying to parse:

\"content=0&website=Google\"

so that I have a

Answer 1

I recommend something similar to the following:

char t_str[100];
strncpy(t_str, contents, 100);
//now strtok() on t_str, original contents will be preserved

Answer 2

Here is a solution that seems to work:

char *contents = "content=0&website=Google";
char arg[100] = {0};
char value[100] = {0};
sscanf(contents, "%[^&]&%s", arg, value);
printf("%s\n%s\n", arg, value);

Answer 3

scanf is more primitive than you seem to think — %s will match everything up to the next whitespace. Your best solution is probably to stick with strtok but throw it only content you've strduped from the authoritative original.
