ATTN: C hacker who loves Awk

[Ajay Shah]

I'm an experienced Awk programmer who's recently started on C.
The biggest thing I miss is the split() function.  If you have
written some such function, could you please donate it to me?  It
will make my life a lot happier.

Thanks,

	-ans.


P.S.: int split(char *s, char **words, char FS)

	takes string s and field seperator FS.  Generates array of
	words in words, function returns number of fields found.
	Weird special hacks:

		- multiple consecutive blank FS are ignored
			e.g. split("this    is", words, " ") will give
			fields "this", "is".
		- any other multiple FSs are respected
			e.g. split("this||||is", words, "|") will give
			fields "this", "", "", "", "is.
