Java has a convenient split method:
String str = "The quick brown fox";
String[] results = str.split(" ");
Is there an easy way to do this in C++?
The Boost tokenizer class can make this sort of thing quite simple:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <boost/foreach.hpp>
#include <boost/tokenizer.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace boost;
int main(int, char**)
{
string text = "token, test string";
char_separator<char> sep(", ");
tokenizer< char_separator<char> > tokens(text, sep);
BOOST_FOREACH (const string& t, tokens) {
cout << t << "." << endl;
}
}
Updated for C++11:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <boost/tokenizer.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace boost;
int main(int, char**)
{
string text = "token, test string";
char_separator<char> sep(", ");
tokenizer<char_separator<char>> tokens(text, sep);
for (const auto& t : tokens) {
cout << t << "." << endl;
}
}
