No, I haven't checked the docs yet... :)
If I have a string like this:
"23 '17-5' 14 86"
can I parse on the spaces and have the single-quoted items come back
as one item?
So, for instance, this string
"One Two 'Three Four' Five 'Six Seven Eight'"
would parse to
{ "One", "Two", "Three Four", "Five", "Six Seven Eight" }
I'm sure you've got a function for that... Can you help me out here?!
Thanks! :)

I've got exactly that function in my arsenal. I'll did it out and email it to
you.

No.

No. But that looks simple enough that finding the include to handle it would
take longer than re-writing it occasionally. For instance, you could replace all
the " " in the single-quotes with "_", and then parse would do what you want.
In my experience, the way humans handle punctuation is riddled with errors.
Parse(), or any function that calls it, can return the separators you specify,
and i did that so i could recover from human error. In the return, the
separators will be in their own lil sequence, where they were in relation to the
real tokens.

See, you don't need me, ck. Sure beats making a request that the lib do
something you want, doesn't it? This way, i don't ever need to make any
improvements to strtok!

Actually, that's a good idea! Thanks, Kat.
