Splitting strings in C++ [duplicate]

Question

How do you split a string into tokens in C++?

Answer 1

this works nicely for me :), it puts the results in elems. delim can be any char.

std::vector<std::string> &split(const std::string &s, char delim, std::vector<std::string> &elems) {
    std::stringstream ss(s);
    std::string item;
    while(std::getline(ss, item, delim)) {
        elems.push_back(item);
    }
    return elems;
}
