You can even develop your own split function (I know, little old-fashioned):
size_t split(const std::string &txt, std::vector<std::string> &strs, char ch)
{
size_t pos = txt.find( ch );
size_t initialPos = 0;
strs.clear();
// Decompose statement
while( pos != std::string::npos ) {
strs.push_back( txt.substr( initialPos, pos - initialPos ) );
initialPos = pos + 1;
pos = txt.find( ch, initialPos );
}
// Add the last one
strs.push_back( txt.substr( initialPos, std::min( pos, txt.size() ) - initialPos + 1 ) );
return strs.size();
}
Then you just need to invoke it with a vector<string> as argument:
int main()
{
std::vector<std::string> v;
split( "This is a test", v, ' ' );
dump( cout, v );
return 0;
}
Find the code for splitting a string in IDEone.
Hope this helps.
