extract number of entries in a line

What is an elegant way (using std::stream's) to extract number of
white-space separated entries in a given line of a formatted text file?
e.g.: Take this section of a file,

1 2.78 4 5 -0.003 <tab> 7.1d5
9 40 <tab> 2.e5 -10
....

and the code will return 6 for 1st line, 4 for next line, etc...

Yes, I know you wanted the count , not the entries themselves. I just
took the code from an application I wrote just to illustrate the
general idea.
- in order to extract the whole line into a string we need some
sort of prespecified (or pre-detected) limit for # of char's per
line (arguably, not elegant).

It looks like you want to quote text using the broken Google interface,
but don't know how. To do so, DON'T use the Reply at the bottom of the
message. Click "show options" and use the Reply in the expanded header.
That will give you proper quotes and attributions.

Ok, but don't top-post when doing it for real.

Hello. I need to extract date information from a memo field entered in the following way: 01/01/2005 - 31/12/2005 01/01/2004 - 31/12/2004 01/01/2003 - 31/12/2003 01/01/1996 - 31/12/1996. The number of entries varies. I would welcome advice on a more elegant way of extracting all the date information (first date, second date, third date, etc and appending to another table, say tblDates) rather than the crude way I have used left

Hi all Does anybody please know a way to extract an Image from a pdf file and save it as a TIFF?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
