Parsing a comma-delimited std::string [duplicate]

Answer 1

You could also use the following function.

void tokenize(const string& str, vector& tokens, const string& delimiters = ",")
{
  // Skip delimiters at beginning.
  string::size_type lastPos = str.find_first_not_of(delimiters, 0);

  // Find first non-delimiter.
  string::size_type pos = str.find_first_of(delimiters, lastPos);

  while (string::npos != pos || string::npos != lastPos) {
    // Found a token, add it to the vector.
    tokens.push_back(str.substr(lastPos, pos - lastPos));

    // Skip delimiters.
    lastPos = str.find_first_not_of(delimiters, pos);

    // Find next non-delimiter.
    pos = str.find_first_of(delimiters, lastPos);
  }
}
