I'm trying to iterate over the words of a string.
The string can be assumed to be composed of words separated by whitespace.
Note that I'm not interested in C string functions or that kind of character manipulation/access. Also, please give precedence to elegance over efficiency in your answer.
The best solution I have right now is:
#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string s = "Somewhere down the road";
istringstream iss(s);
do
{
string subs;
iss >> subs;
cout << "Substring: " << subs << endl;
} while (iss);
}
Is there a more elegant way to do this?
Answer
For what it's worth, here's another way to extract tokens from an input string, relying only on standard library facilities. It's an example of the power and elegance behind the design of the STL.
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
int main() {
using namespace std;
string sentence = "And I feel fine...";
istringstream iss(sentence);
copy(istream_iterator(iss),
istream_iterator(),
ostream_iterator(cout, "\n"));
}
Instead of copying the extracted tokens to an output stream, one could insert them into a container, using the same generic copy
algorithm.
vector tokens;
copy(istream_iterator(iss),
istream_iterator(),
back_inserter(tokens));
... or create the vector
directly:
vector tokens{istream_iterator{iss},
istream_iterator{}};
