split dvb url address into separate values

Let assume we have such URL:

dvb://1.3f3.255c.15

my question is how to parse this address in following way:

val1 = 1
val2 = 3f3
val3 = 255c
val4 = 15

First idea is to use strchr() from standard C library, but maybe done it before. I would like to make it as simple as possible. When I will succeed I will put my solution.

Best Regards

Solution

  • You could use strtok

    char dvb_url[] = "dvb://1.3f3.255c.15";

//Begin stripping the scheme (dvb:/)
char *tokenized = strtok(dvb_url, "/");
//Finish stripping scheme
tokenized = strtok(NULL, "/.");

while(tokenized != NULL)
{
    //Store in variable here            
    printf("%s\n", tokenized);
    tokenized = strtok(NULL, ".");
}
