Hi.
I have this project where I use split() and replace().
Now I have a bad feeling that I can't use char* split() and replace() togehter.

code:

Code:

#include <string.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(19200);
}

void loop(){
char test[] = "s1: 22, s2: 43, s3: 12, s4: 56";
test = test.replace(' ', '');
char *token = strtok(test, ",");
int i = 1;

while(token)
{  // Do something with this word
Serial.print(token);
Serial.println();
token = strtok(NULL, ",");
i +=1;
}
Serial.println();
delay(1000);
}

Cause I get this error message:
split:8: error: request for member 'replace' in 'test', which is of non-class type 'char [31]'

Anny way to solve this?

You can not call methods on variables of scalar datatypes. You need to look for some c-style function for replacing chars in a c-string.
If you're up for the challenge, you could write your own replace function

Perhaps, the use of
  char *token = strtok(test, " ,");
and
  token = strtok(NULL, " ,");
(note: " ," instead of ",") might solve your problem
without removing the blanks (if this is intended by replace(' ', '')).

Test is an array of char, not a class with member functions, therefor the replace() is not existant => compiler error
From the code I see you want to remove the spaces, you can use an inplace remove like below

Code:

#include <string.h>

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(19200);
}

void loop()
{
  char test[] = "s1: 22, s2: 43, s3: 12, s4: 56";
  // test = test.replace(' ', '');
    Serial.println(test);
  remove(test, ' ');
  Serial.println(test);
  
  char *token = strtok(test, ",");
  int i = 1;

  while(token)
  {  // Do something with this word
    Serial.print(token);
    Serial.println();
    token = strtok(NULL, ",");
    i +=1;
  }
  Serial.println();
  delay(1000);
}


void remove(char *str, char r)
{
  char *p, *q;
  p = q = str;
  while (*p != '\0')
  {
    while (*p == r) p++;
    *q++ = *p++;
  }
  *q = '\0';
}

Sweet robtillaart.
Thanks for your help
It works!

Now I'm just implent in my own code...
