How do I tokenize a string in C++?
pseudocode:
Attributes[] = Split line(' ') How?
I have been doing this:
char *pch; pch = strtok(line," "); while(pch!=NULL) { fputs ( pch, stdout ); } and getting a non-written, stuck, exit file. It's something wrong with this? Well, the thing isn't even meeting my pseudocode requirement, but I'm confused about how to index tokens (as char arrays) to my array, I guess I should write a 2-dim array?
Use strtok with " " as your delimiter.
This is not quite a dup - for C++ see and upvote the accepted answer here by @Zunino.
Basic code below but to see the full glorious elegance of the answer you are going to have to click on it.
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <sstream> #include <algorithm> #include <iterator> int main() { using namespace std; string sentence = "Something in the way she moves..."; istringstream iss(sentence); copy(istream_iterator<string>(iss), istream_iterator<string>(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, "\n")); } This hinges on the fact that by default, istream_iterator treats whitespace as its separator. The resulting tokens are written to cout on separate lines (per separator specified in constructor overload for ostream_iterator).
The easiest method is boost::split:
std::vector<std::string> words; boost::split(words, your_string, boost::is_space());
