为了完整起见，我将提到C的方法:

如果str是你的原始字符串，substr就是你想要的子字符串 检查,然后 Strncmp (str, substr, strlen(substr)) 将返回0如果STR 从substr开始。函数strncmp和strlen在C 头文件<string.h>

(最初由Yaseen Rauf在这里发布，添加了标记)

对于不区分大小写的比较，请使用strnicmp而不是strncmp。

这是C语言的方法，对于c++的字符串，你可以像这样使用相同的函数:

strncmp(str.c_str(), substr.c_str(), substr.size())

冒着被批评使用C结构的风险，我确实认为这个sscanf示例比大多数Boost解决方案更优雅。如果您在任何有Python解释器的地方运行，则不必担心链接!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    for (int i = 1; i != argc; ++i) {
        int number = 0;
        int size = 0;
        sscanf(argv[i], "--foo=%d%n", &number, &size);
        if (size == strlen(argv[i])) {
            printf("number: %d\n", number);
        }
        else {
            printf("not-a-number\n");
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

下面是一些示例输出，演示了该解决方案与等效的Python代码一样正确地处理前导/尾随垃圾，并且比使用atoi的任何方法都更正确(后者会错误地忽略非数字后缀)。

$ ./scan --foo=2 --foo=2d --foo='2 ' ' --foo=2'
number: 2
not-a-number
not-a-number
not-a-number

你会这样做:

std::string prefix("--foo=");
if (!arg.compare(0, prefix.size(), prefix))
    foo_value = std::stoi(arg.substr(prefix.size()));

寻找一个库，如Boost。为你做这件事的ProgramOptions也是一个好主意。

还没有人使用STL算法/错配函数。如果返回true, prefix是'toCheck'的前缀:

std::mismatch(prefix.begin(), prefix.end(), toCheck.begin()).first == prefix.end()

完整的例子:

#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    if (argc != 3) {
        std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " prefix string" << std::endl
                  << "Will print true if 'prefix' is a prefix of string" << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }
    std::string prefix(argv[1]);
    std::string toCheck(argv[2]);
    if (prefix.length() > toCheck.length()) {
        std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " prefix string" << std::endl
                  << "'prefix' is longer than 'string'" <<  std::endl;
        return 2;
    }
    if (std::mismatch(prefix.begin(), prefix.end(), toCheck.begin()).first == prefix.end()) {
        std::cout << '"' << prefix << '"' << " is a prefix of " << '"' << toCheck << '"' << std::endl;
        return 0;
    } else {
        std::cout << '"' << prefix << '"' << " is NOT a prefix of " << '"' << toCheck << '"' << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }
}

编辑:

正如@James T. Huggett所建议的，std::equal更适合回答这个问题:a是B的前缀吗?并且是略短的代码:

std::equal(prefix.begin(), prefix.end(), toCheck.begin())

完整的例子:

#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  if (argc != 3) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " prefix string" << std::endl
              << "Will print true if 'prefix' is a prefix of string"
              << std::endl;
    return -1;
  }
  std::string prefix(argv[1]);
  std::string toCheck(argv[2]);
  if (prefix.length() > toCheck.length()) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " prefix string" << std::endl
              << "'prefix' is longer than 'string'" << std::endl;
    return 2;
  }
  if (std::equal(prefix.begin(), prefix.end(), toCheck.begin())) {
    std::cout << '"' << prefix << '"' << " is a prefix of " << '"' << toCheck
              << '"' << std::endl;
    return 0;
  } else {
    std::cout << '"' << prefix << '"' << " is NOT a prefix of " << '"'
              << toCheck << '"' << std::endl;
    return 1;
  }
}

如果你需要c++ 11兼容性而不能使用boost，这里有一个boost兼容的使用示例:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

static bool starts_with(const std::string str, const std::string prefix)
{
    return ((prefix.size() <= str.size()) && std::equal(prefix.begin(), prefix.end(), str.begin()));
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    bool usage = false;
    unsigned int foos = 0; // default number of foos if no parameter was supplied

    if (argc > 1)
    {
        const std::string fParamPrefix = "-f="; // shorthand for foo
        const std::string fooParamPrefix = "--foo=";

        for (unsigned int i = 1; i < argc; ++i)
        {
            const std::string arg = argv[i];

            try
            {
                if ((arg == "-h") || (arg == "--help"))
                {
                    usage = true;
                } else if (starts_with(arg, fParamPrefix)) {
                    foos = std::stoul(arg.substr(fParamPrefix.size()));
                } else if (starts_with(arg, fooParamPrefix)) {
                    foos = std::stoul(arg.substr(fooParamPrefix.size()));
                }
            } catch (std::exception& e) {
                std::cerr << "Invalid parameter: " << argv[i] << std::endl << std::endl;
                usage = true;
            }
        }
    }

    if (usage)
    {
        std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " [OPTION]..." << std::endl;
        std::cerr << "Example program for parameter parsing." << std::endl << std::endl;
        std::cerr << "  -f, --foo=N   use N foos (optional)" << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

    std::cerr << "number of foos given: " << foos << std::endl;
}

为什么不使用gnu getopts?下面是一个基本的例子(没有安全检查):

#include <getopt.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  option long_options[] = {
    {"foo", required_argument, 0, 0},
    {0,0,0,0}
  };

  getopt_long(argc, argv, "f:", long_options, 0);

  printf("%s\n", optarg);
}

使用实例:

$ ./a.out --foo=33

你会得到

33
