OK heres my dilema:  I want a method for reducing this string 

#include <stdio.h>

to this string

stdio.h

how do I go about doing this?  So far my code looks like this:

void Function() {
	char buffer[80];
	char *parse_string;
	
	[SNIP - UnInportant]
	[Back to imortant parts]

	// Assuming that the input is #include <%s> or #include "%s"
	parse_string = strtok( buffer, " " ); // Burn "#include"
	parse_string = strtok( NULL, " " ); // Now parse_string has "<%s>"
	
	parse_string++; // Burn '<'
	strncpy ( temp, parse_string, strlen ( parse_string ) - 1 );
	[SNIP - Unimportant Again...]
}

Now this function does a pretty good job, except for the fact that temp
contains what I want plus some garbage that it outputs for me...

Can somebody help me with this?

BTW if you are wondering why I would want to start parsing C/C++ files,
I'm doing it because I want to start developing a Source Browser for
DJGPP (failing to find one that matched the capabillities of Watcom
Source Browser, my brother suggested that I write my own... and here I
am ).

P.S.  No I do not have too much time on my hands...
