For goodness sake, it's not even NP-complete. char *start = strchr(line, ' ') + 1; char *end = strrchr(line, ' '); char *ret; *end = '\0'; ret = strdup(start); *end = ' '; return ret;
Obviously there's no error checking, but there you go. I don't see what's inelegant about that. This is C, use pointers, if you want high level string parsers, use Perl.
