Strings and Whitespace

anyone have a way to take a string of unknown length and break it up using the spaces (white space) that are in it?

data example: president john jones, iii

look at tokenising function, strtok(...) I think in <cstring>/<string.h>

Using the CString class would be the easiest way.

{
        istringstream text("president john jones, iii");
        string word;
        while(text >> word)
                cout << word << '\n';

I believe CString is only available in MFC, or otherwise difficult to get.

Are you sure? I think you can either include cstring.h or windows.h and use it..
I don't see how you'd need MFC to use it..
