How to de delete everthing between square bracket in a string

[jacky Wang]

I try to build an application to delete everything between <> in a string,below is my code, the shortage of my code is it can not deal with the string like
<LL>Serial Number: <BB = "COURIER NEW">NONE</JJ>
but only
<LL>Serial Number: <BB = "COURIER NEW">NONE
(please note the difference)
That is to say, it can not deal the right part of <>.
Thanks!

//Cut everything between <> , for example:

Serial Number: NONE
void CutAllBetweenSquareBrackets(char *s,char *resultS)
{
int i, j, p,n,a,b,c;
a=(int) '<';
b=(int) '>';

n=strlen(s);
for (i=0; i
{
c=(int) s[i];
if (a==c)
{
for (j=i+1; j
{
c=(int) s[j];
if (b==c)
{
Mid(s,resultS,j+2,1000);strcpy(s,resultS); n=strlen(s);i=-1;break;
}
else continue;

}
}
}

}

//Get a substring from a string, from pointer n
void Mid(char *s,char *resultS,int n,int m)
{
int i,j,p;
if(n<1) n=1;
i=strlen(s);
if(i
if(m<0) m=i;
else m=n+m-1;
if(m>i) m=i;
p=m-n+1;
if(p<0) p=0;
for(i=n-1,j=0;i
{resultS[j]=s[i]; }
resultS[p]=0;
}

A simple solution could use ANSI strtok ( ) function. I wrote this little code you can try even in the Interactive window. It needs to be trimmed a little to accomodate input and output to your actual application, but it should work as expected (note that the delimiter used changes from call to call to strtok function):

#include <utility.h>
#include <ansi_c.h>
static char src[256], *item;

strcpy (src, "<LL>Serial Number: <BB = \042COURIER NEW\042>NONE</JJ>");
DebugPrintf ("Source string: %s\n", src);
item = strtok (src, ">");
if (!item) DebugPrintf ("No delimiter found\n");
while (1) {
 item = strtok (NULL, "<");
 if (!item) break;
 DebugPrintf ("%s", item);
 item = strtok (NULL, ">");
 if (!item) break;
}
DebugPrintf ("\nEnd of source string\n");

The output in the debug window is as follows:

 Source string: <LL>Serial Number: <BB = "COURIER NEW">NONE</JJ>
 Serial Number: NONE
 End of source string
