Is There A Built-In Way to Split Strings In C++?

Question

well is there? by string i mean std::string

Answer 1

C strings

Simply insert a \0 where you wish to split. This is about as built-in as you can get with standard C functions.

This function splits on the first occurance of a char separator, returning the second string.

char *split_string(char *str, char separator) {
    char *second = strchr(str, separator);
    if(second == NULL)
        return NULL;

    *second = '\0';
    ++second;
    return second;
}
