ssplit_once

Category: string
GitHub: cute_string.h

Splits a string about the character ch one time, scanning from left-to-right.

#define ssplit_once(s, ch) cf_string_split_once(s, ch)
Parameters Description
s The string. Must be a dynamically allocated string from this string API. Does not work on string literals.
ch A character to split about.

Return Value

Returns the string to the left of ch.

Remarks

s will contain the string to the right of ch. Returns the string to the left of ch. If ch isn't found, simply returns NULL and does not modify s. You must call sfree on the returned string.

This function is intended to be used in a loop, successively chopping off pieces of s. A much easier, but slightly slower, version of this function is ssplit, which returns an array of strings.
