Splitting a string

[ekorad]

Hello again everyone!

I have another question: is there any way to split a string?

string = "C:\\Program Files\\Projects\\C++\\Folder\\"

I want to know if there is any way to split this into something like:

str1 = "C:"
str2 = "Program Files"
str3 = "Projects"
str4 = ...

Thank you!

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <sstream>

std::vector<std::string> &split(const std::string &s, char delim, std::vector<std::string> &elems)
{
    std::stringstream ss(s);
    std::string item;
    while(std::getline(ss, item, delim))
    {
        elems.push_back(item);
    }
    return elems;
}


std::vector<std::string> split(const std::string &s, char delim)
{
    std::vector<std::string> elems;
    return split(s, delim, elems);
}

int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    string sentence = "C:\\Program Files\\Projects\\C++\\Folder\\";
    std::vector<std::string> x = split(sentence, '\\');
    for (int i = 0; i < x.size(); i++)
    {
        cout << x[i] << "\n";
    }

    return 0;
}

this code adds those smaller strings into separate variables? (str1,str2,str3,...)

[modoran]

This code adds the smaller strings into a std::vector. You can extract them later into separate variables from it if you really need/want.

Thank you very much

Ok, i'm back again. I've been searching how to extract elements from a vector but i didn't find anything useful.

Can you please tell me how can it be done?

Lines 29 to 32 should give you some sort of idea.

Thank you very much, I should have spent more time inspecting this code.

Thanks again!
