You write here, you read here. First you have to define what a 'word' is. Is an
acronym a word? What about those dots? Or any punctuation character?

kind regards,

words are generally separated by space, tab or delimiter. First find the position of first delimiter and then get the substring starting from 0 to that position.

This is actually fairly simple, but as the Administrator said, we don't give that code out (using google and the terms that we give you it should be very simple). First of all, I am going to assume that you are using an std::string. Heres what you do:
1) Find the first instance of the character "space" (yourString.find(" "))
2) Take the substring of that from character 0 to whenever the space is using substr (yourString.substr(0,yourString.find(" "))
