strtok() command with Serial communicaton

Question

After i take char* variable from serial communication, i use strtok to split variables with " ". But when i do that it acts like there is " " after every character. i dont know why. How can i fix this ?

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // opens serial port, sets data rate to 9600 bps
  char* a = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";
  char* c = a3;
  char* b;
  b = strtok(c, " ");
  while(b != NULL){
        Serial.println(b);
        b = strtok(NULL, " ");
      }
}
void loop() {
}

outcome :

The
quick
brown
...

this parse code works perfectly. until i take it from serialports. Serial code here. like this :

..

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#define bRSerial 9600
#define bRmY 9600

char vD[45];
int i = 0;

SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(bRSerial);
  while (!Serial) {
    ;
  }
  mySerial.begin(bRmY);
}
void loop() {
if (mySerial.available()) {
    //Serial.write(mySerial.read());
    vD[i]=mySerial.read();
    i++;
    if(i=46){
      char* a = vD;
      char* b;

      b = strtok(a, " ");
      while(b != NULL){
        Serial.println(b);
        b = strtok(NULL, " ");
      }
      i=0;
    }
  }
}

...outcome

T
h
e
q
u
i
c
k
b
r
o
w
...

so isthere a way to fix this ? i need to get it from serial and parse with " ". THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Answer 1

only a syntax typo. the condition should be if ( i == 46 ) {

if this is not only a strtok test, the you do not need strtok. read in char c, and if c == ' ', print vD and reset i to 0

and I do not see where you set the terminating 0 of vD a.k.a. a
