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)]
<         


        

Answer 1

all these are good examples. yet they dont answer the following:

1. a CSV file with different column numbers (some rows with more columns than others)
2. or when some of the values have white space (ya yb,x1 x2,,x2,)

so for those who are still looking, this class: http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/tic/tic0226.shtml is pretty cool... some changes might be needed
