[comp.sys.mac.programmer] strtok

keith@portia.Stanford.EDU (keith farrar) (09/28/90)

Last night, I had a text parser I wrote run amok, because strtok() was 
returning EOF when it reached the end of the string (i.e. it was fed a 
null string).  I suspect that it also has broken some serial comm code
we are porting to the mac. The documented convention is for it then to
return a NULL pointer - according to my ansi guides and my MPW C manual.
 
Has this been brought up before?
Is there a fix available?
