Help split simple string in c

Hi, I have to split simple string in c. char readLine[7]; //Get from a file, Examples: "001:330", "01:330", "01:33", "333:01" char num1[3]; char num2[3]; //How can I get for example num1="001", num2="330" I am not good with char manupalation. Please help me how I can split with delimiter ":" I think should be easy since I know the line from file can be at most 7 characters, and in above format, so I don't need to do any other handling. Thanks for your help!

Yeah it only applies to multi threading.

I just ewww'd because I personally don't like stuff like that. Especially if it is up to the implementer whether to make it thread safe or not (so it is inherently non-portable if multithreading is involved).

It is my understanding that multithreading itself is not very portable when it comes to C, so in those cases you could opt for strtok_s and strtok_r anyway... It is definitely not the only option, but I don't think it is particularly problematic in this case :) .
