  16. Agreed. Personally, I'd use strchr:
  17.  
  18.     i = 0;
  19.     while(buf && *buf) {
  20.         flds[i++] = buf;
  21.         if(buf = strchr(buf, ' ')) {
  22.             *buf++ = '\0';
  23.             while(isspace(*buf)) buf++;
  24.         }
  25.     }
  26.  
  27. Don't forget to null-terminate the strings!
