If you're rewriting the cast code, don't use strtok(). You can expand the one_word function to support the quoting for the cast command (just copy the code for the " delimited substrings and change \" to \'), and then parse it that way: char spellname[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH]; char spelltarg[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH]; /* Get the spell name and target. */ argument = one_word(argument, spellname); argument = one_word(argument, spelltarg); skip_spaces(&argument); /* argument now contains whatever came after the target of the spell. */ . . . This has the interesting side-effect that the apostrophe/single-quote is no longer a magic character. If the spell is more than one word long, they have to quote it using single or double quotes (cast 'magi missi' buffy; cast "magi missi" boffo; cast rename dagger bongo's dagger), but if only word is needed to refer without ambiguity to the spell, then quotes aren't required. -dak -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
