C++ string parsing (python style)

Question

I love how in python I can do something like:

points = []
for line in open(\"data.txt\"):
    a,b,c = map(float, line.split(\',\'))
    points += [(a,b,c)]
<

The C++ String Toolkit Library (StrTk) has the following solution to your problem:

#include 
#include 
#include "strtk.hpp"

struct point { double x,y,z; }

int main()
{
   std::deque points;
   point p;
   strtk::for_each_line("data.txt",
                        [&points,&p](const std::string& str)
                        {
                           strtk::parse(str,",",p.x,p.y,p.z);
                           points.push_back(p);
                        });
   return 0;
}
