i am trying to parse input from a character buffer char buf[BUFLEN];

The input I'm trying to parse is:

GET /file.html HTTP/1.3
Host: www.bbc.co.uk

I need to store the GET, the /index.html, HTTP/1.1 and www.bbc.co.uk all into separate variables

What is the best way to parse over this input and separate it into variables?

Thanks

Do you think your method is not good enough? can you post it? – Iharob Al Asimi Feb 26 '15 at 12:04
Hi, i currently haven't started implementing a method – Jamie Dale Feb 26 '15 at 12:05
There are several options. One would be to use `fgets` to read each line, and `strtok` to parse tokens. – lurker Feb 26 '15 at 12:10

@JamieDale Try to implement it yourself. If you face a problem, you can ask it here. As a starter you can learn `strtok` or `*scanf` in depth – Mohit Jain Feb 26 '15 at 12:10

`HTTP/1.3` and `HTTP/1.1` are different. – Spikatrix Feb 26 '15 at 12:14

This site doesn't work like that, read about `strstr()` and `strtok()`, and then write something if it doesn't work, come back. Be careful with `strtok()` because it's not reentrant... – Iharob Al Asimi Feb 26 '15 at 12:15
