Looking for c++ imp of string--list split/join/index

by Stephen Zepp · in Technical Issues · 09/27/2005 (8:59 am) · 2 replies

Is anyone aware of a standalone string/list implementation in c++ that's free from usage restrictions?

I'm looking for string to list/list to string functionality (split, join, list indexing) similar--if not exact--to TCL's list functionality, and/or similar to Python/Perl that can be placed in a commercial project free of restrictions.

Anyone have anything they've used before? I don't really want to hook into an external language implementation, but it's been 7+ years since I was attuned to string ops, so don't want to re-write from scratch either!

Not sure exactly what you're referring to here, but it sounds like all you need is STL. It contains string, list, vector, map, multimap, etc. Those should serve you well.

Actually it doesn't.. The closest is StringTokenizer, but it doesn't implement an indexable array of the tokens, just a stack-based (can pop off tokens, but not index them).
