Example

Copy 
StrBuf o = StrBuf();
StrBuf tmp = StrBuf();
o.Set( "abc\tdef   ghi\nxyz xyzzy plugh" );

printf( "Input StrBuf:\n%s\n", o.Text() );

char *vec[5];
int w = StrOps::Words( tmp, o, vec, 5 );

for ( ; w ; w-- )
{
    printf( "Word %d: %s\n", w, vec[w-1] );
}

return 0;

Executing the preceding code produces the following output:
