How I do Split?

How I do split in C++ ?

Ex:

test1;;test2;;test3

How do I take those and stick those in variables ?

In perl would be

my($var1,$var2,$var3)=split(/;;/, $input);

How do I do that in c++ ?

I never thought of it myself though I use it PHP, so I decided to write an implementation:

Code:

bool split(std::string sep, std::string str, std::vector<std::string> &array) {
	int seplen = sep.length();
	if (seplen < 1)
		return false;
	int len = str.length();
	int find = 0, prev = 0;
	for (;;) {
		if (find = str.find(sep, find) == std::string::npos) {
			array.push_back(str.substr(prev, len - prev));
			return true;
		}
		else {
			array.push_back(str.substr(prev, find - prev));
			find += seplen;
			prev = find;
		}
	}
	return false;
}

probably could be optimised though.
The difference would be that we would be passing a vector of strings by reference, and then accessing the elements of the vector, rather than directly assigning the values to individual variables.
