Parse delimited string

Question

How can I get :

connect
100
username
example

from this string:

ngg://connect>100/username>example/

Answer 1

Using std::string::find with arguments "/" and ">" and std::string::substr with the found indexes.

This is a good start.

Answer 2

Adding an answer with strtok for the sake of diversity:

char str[] = "ngg://connect>100/username>example/";
char *s = strtok(str, ">/");
std::vector<std::string> tokens;
while (s = strtok(NULL, ">/"))
    tokens.push_back(std::string(s));

This will split the string str into the desired tokens (discarding the first ngg:, like in the question).
Here's a working example of this code.
