Wait a moment, wasn't it you who made the thread about using pre-incrementation as opposed to post incrementation? Just nitpicking
But anyway the code is a perfectly fine substitute for using strtok for that purpose. I never knew it was recommended not to use strtok before. Btw, I read the strsep() manpage and it appears to suffer the same problems as strtok(), i.e. it modifies the string. So it's not exactly a great substitute.
