I am writing a simple parser (or so i thought) and have limited myself to the C libs. I am assuming that strlen() does not count spaces at the beginning of the char array because i am getting some bad results. How then, can I get a char array's length including the spaces? thanks!

EDIT

I am also wondering, how can I tell if a space was the first delimeter reached while using strtok()? I try to compare like so:
if(buff[index]==' ')
but this doesn't seem to work.

You could search for the /0 character. It's position is the length, including spaces.

Okay thanks.

I now see that if I use a space as a delimeter with strtok(), strlen() will not count the spaces and if I use just '\0', the spaces are counted.
