Function
GLibstrsplit_set
since: 2.4
Declaration
gchar**
g_strsplit_set (
const gchar* string,
const gchar* delimiters,
gint max_tokens
)
Description
Splits string into a number of tokens not containing any of the characters
in delimiter. A token is the (possibly empty) longest string that does not
contain any of the characters in delimiters. If max_tokens is reached, the
remainder is appended to the last token.
For example the result of g_strsplit_set (“abc:def/ghi”, “:/”, -1) is a
NULL-terminated vector containing the three strings “abc”, “def”,
and “ghi”.
The result of g_strsplit_set (“:def/ghi:”, “:/”, -1) is a NULL-terminated
vector containing the four strings “”, “def”, “ghi”, and “”.
As a special case, the result of splitting the empty string “” is an empty vector, not a vector containing a single string. The reason for this special case is that being able to represent an empty vector is typically more useful than consistent handling of empty elements. If you do need to represent empty elements, you’ll need to check for the empty string before calling g_strsplit_set().
Note that this function works on bytes not characters, so it can’t be used to delimit UTF-8 strings for anything but ASCII characters.

Parameters
string-
Type:
const gchar*The string to be tokenized.
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. delimiters-
Type:
const gchar*A nul-terminated string containing bytes that are used to split the string (it can accept an empty string, which will result in no string splitting).
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. max_tokens-
Type:
gintThe maximum number of tokens to split
stringinto. If this is less than 1, the string is split completely.
