You can use strstr() to look for the "xxx" delimited and split that that
point:
% cat -n foo.c
1 #include <stdio.h>
2 #include <string.h>
3
4 int
5 main(void)
6 {
7 char text[] = "Hello string world";
8 char delim[] = " string ";
9 size_t dlen = sizeof(delim) / sizeof(delim[0]) - 1;
10 char *p;
11
12 p = strstr(text, delim);
13 if (p == NULL)
14 return 0; /* No match */
15
16 printf("First part = \"%.*s\"\n", p - text, text);
17 printf("Second part = \"%s\"\n", p + dlen);
18 return 0;
19 }
% cc -std=iso9899:1990 -O2 -Wall foo.c
% ./a.out
First part = "Hello"
Second part = "world"
