Re: strtok and consecutive delimiters

["Wayne Achenbaum" <wache@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Function eats the delimiters, I must know what data was missing between
the delimiters. A PC is passing me a Comma delimited String on a data queue.
Between each comma is critical data.

Below is a copy of the procedure in a service pgm

$GetString      B                    Export

$GetString      PI          2048a   varying
 String@                    2048a   Varying Const Options(*Varsize)
 Delimiters@                  10a   Varying Const Options(*Varsize)
 - - - - - - - -
 Local Variables
 - - - - - - - -
Token@          s               *
Stringout       s           2048a   Varying
- - - - - - - - - - -
 Load Character Array
- - - - - - - - - - -
                  If        String@ = *blank
                  Eval      Token@ = StrTok(*Null : delimiters@)
                  Else
                  Eval      Token@ = StrTok(string@ : delimiters@)
                  Endif

                  If        Token@  = *Null
                  Eval      Stringout= *blank
                  Else
                  Eval      Stringout = %Str(Token@)
                  Endif

                  Return    Stringout

$GetString      E
