Extract fields from a character array in c++?

[AnishKumar]

Suppose if I have a character array in the following format

2|310456|Acton Golden|Advertising|P3|Hyderabad
i.e

char text[]="2|65412|Harry Wilkins|Developer|Paris"

I have a 2D array of type char

  char data[5][20];

How can I extract each column from that particular line and store in this character array? I want to store

data[0]="2"

data[1]="65412"

data[2]="Harry Wilkins"

data[3]="Developer"

data[4]="Paris"

Please help

In particular, you can use an stringstream and getline:

Hope this helps.
