string extraction

[Gary Wessle]

Hi
given a coma delimited string "abc.,def.,ghj.,my name is", I need to
get the output

//output
abc.
def.
jhj.
my name is
here is how I did it but it is messy. I hope someone came up with a
cleaner version.

thank you

short Conn_task::print_smi(const string& s){
short itm = 0;
int from =0;
int sz = 0;
while( from <= s.rfind(",") ){
if( sz = s.find(",", from) )
cout << "[" << itm << "] " << s.substr(from, sz-from) << endl;
from =sz+1;
++itm;
}
cout << itm << s.substr(from, s.length()-from) << endl;
}

boost::tokenizer is ideal for this.
Look at the boost library, its almost part of the C++ standard and has
all the most important reinvented wheels.

Here are two versions. First one is slightly modified your version, the
second is with iterato. You can use any of them which you like:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

short SplitString(const std::string& s, char split_char = ',')
{
short itm = 0;
std::string::size_type from = 0;

for (;;)
{
std::string::size_type pos = s.find(split_char, from);
std::cout << "[" << itm << "] ";

if (pos == std::string::npos)
{
std::cout << s.substr(from) << "\n";
return itm;
}

std::cout << s.substr(from, pos - from) << "\n";
from = pos + 1;
++itm;
}
}

short SplitString2(const std::string& s, char split_char = ',')
{
short itm = 0;

std::cout << "[0] ";
for (std::string::const_iterator pos = s.begin(); pos != s.end();
++pos)
{
if (*pos == split_char)
std::cout << "\n[" << ++itm << "] ";
else
std::cout << *pos;
}

std::cout << "\n";
return itm;
}

int main()
{
std::string s("abc.,def.,ghj.,my name is");

std::cout << SplitString(s) << "\n";
std::cout << "---------\n";
std::cout << SplitString2(s) << "\n";
}

Why not use strtok from string.h? This example shows exactly what you
want to achieve:

is it not possible to replace comas in the original string with zeros
and then sending it to 'cout'?

[ondra.holub]

Yes, it is definitely possible (I would suggest to replace it with '\n'
character to get required output) as long as you can modify (and
destroy) content of string. Then it is simillar to use of strtok.

Better?
