I am unable to find the source of the infinite loop that occurs while running this program. Please help?
I think it is most likely to be in the input function, but I'm not sure so to be safe I included the whole program.

Add the following line to the end of the while (token1 != NULL) loop in the input function:
token1 = strtok_r(NULL, ";", &end_str1);
The problem is that you are not updating token1, therefore, token1 will never be NULL, and thus while (token != NULL) will loop forever.
