Parsing C

I want to write a parser in C (for some text files with my own layout), but I have no idea how do I start. Say, for each line not terminated by a full stop, I want to read from that line a list of items separated by a comma and put the results on a list, how do I do that?

Crenshaw uses Turbo Pascal, but the principle is the same.

Here you go. You can pretty much translate this verbatim to a parser. I might do one for you on the weekend if I have time.

Soo... CSV?

Parsing CSV in C is probably the only thing null-terminated strings are good for. Just replace the commas with \0 and you're done.

Give it up, it's NP-complete.
