Need a split function!

roelf01 (26)
Hello,

I'm making a web crawler for my website.
I've make the code which downloads the page done,
It gives the code like this:
Original file:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Output from my code:
<html>,,,<head>,,,</head>,,,<body>,,,</body>,,,</html>

Now i need a string split function,
I've tried a lot of functions i found on the web,
But they all have this problem:
Instead of splitting, they remove every character you give it,
Like when you feed this in:
abcdcba
And say it should split on cd i want to get this:
array[0]="ab";
array[1]="cba";
But the this what i dont want is this:
array[0]="ab";
array[1]="ba";

I use g++ and i compile on linux.

Please help!

Greetings

Note, it has to split on the whole delim.
Else it would change the page-code making not a webcrawler, but a webcrapper.

The other codes i found didn't split, they remove the chars in delim

    string delim = "<delim>";

    vector<string> tokens;

    split(input, delim, tokens);

    for(int i = 0; i < (int)tokens.size(); ++i)

        cout << tokens[i] << endl;
    }
