It's my bestst:

int split(char delem, char *str, ... )
{
  char *tmp, *_src, *t, **s;
  int fields = 0;

 _src = str;

 va_list ap;
 va_start(ap, str);

 if (! (tmp=new char[2048]) )
                         return -1;

 while(_src)
  { t = _src;
    while (*t && ((*t) != delem) ) ++t;
    s = va_arg(ap, char **);
    if (!s || !*t)
                break;
     *s = ( t-_src-1 > 0) ? strndup(_src,t-_src-1) : 0 ;
    _src = t+1;
   ++ fields;
  }

  return fields;
}
