string to array

[kuk]

I have a string something like this "May-90,June-91,July-92,", how do I separate the character from the integer and store it in an array

I am a little bit confused by your question. Can you show us what you wouldl ike the array to hold after you convert it?

My string array should look something like this

strarray[] = {"May","June","July"};

and

intarray[] = {90,91,92};

Best solution to this looks like a parsing one. Scroll through the string. At each character use isalpha and isdigit to determine whether it's a number or letter. Once you find a number followed by anthing else, take the value you've stored and put it in the int array. Do the same for letters followed by numbers.
