split on char c++ code example

Example 1: split string on character c++

#include <string>       // std::string
#include <sstream>      // std::stringstream

std::stringstream test("this_is_a_test_string");
std::string segment;
std::vector<std::string> seglist;

while(std::getline(test, segment, '_'))
{
   seglist.push_back(segment);
}
// seglist = {"this", "is", "a", "test", "string"};

Example 2: c++ split at character

std::stringstream test("this_is_a_test_string");
std::string segment;
std::vector<std::string> seglist;

while(std::getline(test, segment, '_'))
{
   seglist.push_back(segment); //Spit string at '_' character
}

Example 3: split a string based on a delimiter in c++

void tokenize(string &str, char delim, vector<string> &out)
{
	size_t start;
	size_t end = 0;

	while ((start = str.find_first_not_of(delim, end)) != string::npos)
	{
		end = str.find(delim, start);
		out.push_back(str.substr(start, end - start));
	}
}

int main()
{
    string s="a;b;c";
    char d=';';
    vector<string> a;
    tokenize(s,d,a);
    for(auto it:a)  cout<<it<<" ";

    return 0;
}
