split up string in c++ code example

Example 1: 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;
}

Example 2: split in c++

std::string s = "scott>=tiger>=mushroom";
std::string delimiter = ">=";

size_t pos = 0;
std::string token;
while ((pos = s.find(delimiter)) != std::string::npos) {
    token = s.substr(0, pos);
    std::cout << token << std::endl;
    s.erase(0, pos + delimiter.length());
}
std::cout << s << std::endl;
