c - Extracting the string from the delimiter "/" -

#include<stdio.h> #include<malloc.h> #include<string.h> int main(){         char* path = "lost+found/d1/dentry";         char* str = malloc(100);         char *temp;         if(null == str) perror("malloc failed");         temp = str;         while(*path != '/'){                 *str++ = *path++;         }         *str = '\0';         str = temp;         printf("\n str : %s \n",str);         return 0; } 

o/p:

 str : lost+found 

is there library function can extract string delimiter "/" [strrchr , srchr gives last , first occurences of '/', string search lost+found].

strtok direct way c library has offer tokenize string. there glitches though:

• the string want tokenize cannot const
• the given string changed during strtok calls

if need first segment in path (as question suggests) , not '/'-delimited tokens strchr may come in handy (along strcpy , pointer arithmetic).
