Parsing a comma-delimited std::string [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Input one number at a time, and check whether the following character is ,. If so, discard it.

#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::string str = "1,2,3,4,5,6";
    std::vector<int> vect;

    std::stringstream ss(str);

    for (int i; ss >> i;) {
        vect.push_back(i);    
        if (ss.peek() == ',')
            ss.ignore();
    }

    for (std::size_t i = 0; i < vect.size(); i++)
        std::cout << vect[i] << std::endl;
}

Solution 2:

Something less verbose, std and takes anything separated by a comma.

stringstream ss( "1,1,1,1, or something else ,1,1,1,0" );
vector<string> result;

while( ss.good() )
{
    string substr;
    getline( ss, substr, ',' );
    result.push_back( substr );
}

Solution 3:

Yet another, rather different, approach: use a special locale that treats commas as white space:

#include <locale>
#include <vector>

struct csv_reader: std::ctype<char> {
    csv_reader(): std::ctype<char>(get_table()) {}
    static std::ctype_base::mask const* get_table() {
        static std::vector<std::ctype_base::mask> rc(table_size, std::ctype_base::mask());

        rc[','] = std::ctype_base::space;
        rc['\n'] = std::ctype_base::space;
        rc[' '] = std::ctype_base::space;
        return &rc[0];
    }
}; 

To use this, you imbue() a stream with a locale that includes this facet. Once you've done that, you can read numbers as if the commas weren't there at all. Just for example, we'll read comma-delimited numbers from input, and write then out one-per line on standard output:

#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cin.imbue(std::locale(std::locale(), new csv_reader()));
    std::copy(std::istream_iterator<int>(std::cin), 
              std::istream_iterator<int>(),
              std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, "\n"));
    return 0;
}

Solution 4:

The C++ String Toolkit Library (Strtk) has the following solution to your problem:

#include <string>
#include <deque>
#include <vector>
#include "strtk.hpp"
int main()
{ 
   std::string int_string = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15";
   std::vector<int> int_list;
   strtk::parse(int_string,",",int_list);

   std::string double_string = "123.456|789.012|345.678|901.234|567.890";
   std::deque<double> double_list;
   strtk::parse(double_string,"|",double_list);

   return 0;
}
