ok this is vexing me
i have a string like this:
blahblahblahblah$blahblahblahblah$
notice is contains $ characters.
i want to SPLIT this string using the $ as a delimiter.
The string is stored in a CString (i'm using MFC).
Can someone show me how I can tokenize this string. A SIMPLE example please!!!
ARGH, thanks!!

CString buff("This is$my string");
for(int x=0; x<<buff.GetLength(); x++)
{
if(buff.Find('$', x)){
CString strSplitLeft = buff.Left(x-1);
CString strSplitRight= buff.Right(x+1);
}
}
Notice this only splits a string in half nothing more. It find the first $ character and copies anything left of it to a buffer and anything right of it to another buffer.
It would reauire a littel tweaking to split a string multiple times.
Cheers!
p.s-Ignore the << it should only be one...but I don't know the excape code in HTML for single angle brackets. Sorry!

Uh, a lot. First of all, "char" is a single character, not a whole string. You need to do an char array for a complete string, or use a CString from MFC. Second, you can't compare char arrays with the "==" symbol, you need to use "strcmp" ("==" does work for CStrings however).
So, correct code would look something like this:
char r[256]; //note that if user inputs more than 255 characters, program might crash
gets(r);
if(strcmp(r,"ok")==0)
{
cout << ("good job");
}

Or in this case, use std::string seeing as MFC is not being used anywhere else in the code.

you cant compare char arrays with "==", then how do you do it?

With the strcmp() function.

Ultimately, char arrays are ugly C, and also not safe, as has been noted. You'll end up using CString or std:string just like everyone else, but for some reason the books all take a low to high approach which shows you the std library AFTER you've learned things the unnecessarily hard way.

People should still learn how to use C strings. They are very powerful and VERY safe when used properly.

Absolutely - I just dispute the idea they should learn it first...

Thanks man, although i did change the character memory amount to 255. The if statment worked!
This is awesome, thank you allot. Ill let the help files help me with how it works, and i may see you all later.

Why did you change the buffer size to 255?
Is it really likely that your user will enter exactly 254 charcters but no more?
(remember, with char arrays for strings, you always need one more byte than the number of characters you plan to store. convention is to terminate strings with a 0 (aka NULL). All the LIBC functions (strcat,strcmp,strlen etc etc) depend on that.)
Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

To answer your original question, that code compiles because both sides of the comparison can be converted to the same type.
"ok" is of type char*
r can be converted to char* through language rules. A one-dimensional array can be implicitly converted to a pointer to the element type, so char[] becomes char*. Voilà.

I was wondering if someone out there could help me out. Why wont the
following code work
//I have a clistctrl as member variable of the following dialog and want
//to catch messages sent from the clistctrl within this dialog
BOOL TVC_RC_Dlg::OnChildNotify( UINT message, WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pLResult)
{
switch ( message ) {
//this case is just an example of one
//of the many im after
case LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT: //Or any other msg sent from a clistctrl
return 0; //Execution never gets here
break;
default :
break;
}
return CDialog::OnChildNotify(message, wParam, lParam, pLResult);
}
Thanks to anyone who can help, or anyone who even read my question

OnChildNotify would be executed on the list control itself, not it's parent dialog. Use OnNotify instead.
