I'm working with Python mostly lately, so memory isn't fresh...
But wasn't there a strtok() function in C, that would split a string, based
on a given char ? Us '/' as that char, and you should be fine.
The strtok function has too many problems to be really usefull.
From the manual page:
Never use these functions. If you do, note that:
These functions modify their first argument.
These functions cannot be used on constant strings.
The identity of the delimiting character is lost.
The strtok() function uses a static buffer while parsing, so it's not thread safe. Use strtok_r() if this matters to you.
