So you want something like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void print_words(char c)
{
    static char buffer[100] = "";
    static int index = 0;
    static int word_count = 0;

    // if whitespace is detected
    if(c == '\r' || c == '\n' || c == ' ') {
        word_count++;
        buffer[index] = '\0';
        printf("Word %d: %10s \tsize: %d\n", word_count, buffer, strlen(buffer));
        index = 0;
        return;
    }

    buffer[index] = c;
    index++;
}

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    char mystring[100] = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
    mystring[3] = '\r';
    mystring[9] = '\n';
    for (int i = 0; i < strlen(mystring); i++) {
        print_words(mystring[i]);
    }

    return 0;
}

Output:

Word 1:        The 	size: 3
Word 2:      quick 	size: 5
Word 3:      brown 	size: 5
Word 4:        fox 	size: 3
Word 5:      jumps 	size: 5
Word 6:       over 	size: 4
Word 7:        the 	size: 3
Word 8:       lazy 	size: 4

I will implement this into OpenBIOS if this is what you want.
