How to use stringstream to separate comma separated strings [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• How do I iterate over the words of a string? 76 answers

I've got the following code:

std::string str = "abc def,ghi";
std::stringstream ss(str);

string token;

while (ss >> token)
{
    printf("%s\n", token.c_str());
}

The output is:

abc
def,ghi

So the stringstream::>> operator can separate strings by space but not by comma. Is there anyway to modify the above code so that I can get the following result?

input: "abc,def,ghi"

output:
abc
def
ghi

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

std::string input = "abc,def,ghi";
std::istringstream ss(input);
std::string token;

while(std::getline(ss, token, ',')) {
    std::cout << token << '\n';
}

abc
def
ghi

Answer 2

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    std::string input = "abc,def,   ghi";
    std::istringstream ss(input);
    std::string token;
    size_t pos=-1;
    while(ss>>token) {
      while ((pos=token.rfind(',')) != std::string::npos) {
        token.erase(pos, 1);
      }
      std::cout << token << '\n';
    }
}
