Thread: Extract a word

Hi all, this is my first post on the forum and I hope I can get some help with my problem.
I need to make a program to extract the last word from a sentence. I managed to extract the last character, but I have no idea how to get a word.

Code:

#include <iostream> 
#include <string> 
using namespace std; 
int main() 
{ 
 string strSentence = "Today will rain";
 int intLength;
 intLength = strSentence.length();
 cout << "\nThe last character of " << strSentence 
      << " is a " << "'"  << strSentence.substr(intLength - 1,1) << "'" ;
 cout << endl; 
 system("PAUSE"); 
 return 0; 
}//end main

Any help is appreciated!
