Sentence to a list , need help

The idea is to create a " list " given a user inputed sentence.
For example:" Hello I am here " . WOuld output the list .
Hello
I
am
here
----------------------
I have tried to compile and I get a error , but it tells me nothing .I think it is right and should work.
----Here is the code if someone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

void main()
{
        string sentence;

        char string1[]="";
        char space[]=" ";
        char period[]=".";
        char word1[]=" ";
        char word2[]=" ";

        cout << "This program turns a given sentence into a list of words." << endl;
        cout << "Input a sentence: ";
        getline(cin, sentence);
        cout << endl;
       
        int len = sentence.length();
        strcpy(string1, sentence.c_str());

        int i;
        int t;
       
        for(i=0; i<len; i++)
        {
                if(string1[i]==space[0] || string1[i]==period[0])
                {
                        for(t=0; t<i; t++)
                        {
                                word1[t]=string1[t];
                        }
                        break;
                }
        }

        i=i+2;
        t=t+2;


        for(i; i<len; i++)
        {
                if(string1[i]==space[0] || string1[i]==period[0])
                {
                        for(t; t<i; t++)
                        {
                                int b=0;
                                word2[b]=string1[t];
                                b=b+1;
                        }
                        break;
                }
        }

        cout << endl;
        cout << word1 << endl;
        cout << word2 << endl;


        int endProg=0;

        while(endProg==0)
        {
                cout << "To end the program type 1: ";
                cin >> endProg;
                cout << endl;
        }

}

Code:

---

char string1[]="";

---

I believe string1 only has 1 element and it's '\0'. And since it's not a dynamic array and it's size is way too small, thus the errors.

Code:

---

strcpy(string1, sentence.c_str());

Why not use strtok with delimiters? Seems you could make the whitespace a delimiter and be done with it quick.

Once you have your sentence...

1. Initialize a stringstream object with the sentence.
2. Parse the stringstream using >> to extract the individual words in a loop.
3. Store the individual words into a container of some sort std::list, std::vector, etc...

^ this

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h> //Codeblocks needs this

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    string sentence = "Hello Cboard I am typing absolutely nothing.";
    size_t sz = strlen(sentence.c_str());
    char * sp = new char[sz];
    strcpy(sp, sentence.c_str());
    sp[sz] = '\0';
    char * tok = strtok(sp, " ");
    while (tok != NULL) {
        cout << tok << endl;
        tok = strtok(NULL, " ");
    }
    delete sp;
    delete tok;
    return 0;
}
