Hi,

	Trying to use "char* strsep(char **stringp, const char
*delim)" which supposedly 

	"returns the next token from the string stringp which is delimited
by delim.  The token is terminated with a `\0' character and stringp is
updated to point past the token."

only if I give it a delimiter that is in the string I get a seg fault,
and if I give it a delimiter that is not in the string, it returns the
entire string.

thanks
Jason

Don't pass it a string literal in stringp.  The string must be
modifyable, and string literals are placed in read-only memory.
