#Splitting a word into an arrays of strings

I think the best option is to have an output parameter
Basically take an array of char* as arguments then write the data to that instead of creating a local array
Then it is the caller's responsibility to either create an array that can hold all the pointers and pass that to your function

Something like this?
char* getArguments(char* argsList, char* args) {
int i = 0;
while (strtok(argsList, " ")) {
i = i + 1;
args[i] = strtok(NULL, " ");
}
return args;
}
That does have the warning: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
args[i] = strtok(NULL, " ");

char **args
Also you can return void, or some other meaningful value, like how many tokens parsed

Got it!
And to call it you'd do something like this?
char *string = "this is a string";
char* args[10];
getArguments(string, *args);

I'd say args without the *
