reading an item from a string

Projects Programming

This is only my second day of arduino programming - and I am getting on OK - but have a problem that I cant seem to crack....

If I have a text string comma deliimited eg:
"The,quick,brown,fox,jumped,over,the,lazy,dog"

and I want to extract eg the third item "brown"

I not sure how to do it.
I have looked at using "strtok"
http://www.elook.org/programming/c/strtok.html
Is this the right direction?
But I cant find documentation or the library "string.h" or is this included in Arduino as standard

Any advice on extracting an item from a string hugely appreciated especially if fairly simple to do for a new ARduino programmer!

Best wishes and many thanks for your advice
Andrew

Yes, strtok is the correct way to go.

Have you tried throwing it in a sketch to see if it works? If it throws an error about strtok being undefined, then you would need to include the library.
