Parsing a string

Question

i have a string of the format "ABCDEFG,12:34:56:78:90:11". i want to separate these two values that are separated by commas into two different strings. how do i do that in gcc using c language.

Answer 1

One possibility is something like this:

char first[20], second[20];

scanf("%19[^,], %19[^\n]", first, second);
