Using strtok with a std::string
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
int main(){
std::string myText("some-text-to-tokenize");
std::istringstream iss(myText);
std::string token;
while (std::getline(iss, token, '-'))
{
std::cout << token << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
Or, as mentioned, use boost for more flexibility.
Duplicate the string, tokenize it, then free it.
char *dup = strdup(str.c_str());
token = strtok(dup, " ");
free(dup);
