boost库很好，但并不总是可用的。手工做这些事情也是很好的脑力锻炼。这里我们只使用STL中的std::search()算法，参见上面的代码。

使用regex_token_iterators的解决方案:

#include <iostream>
#include <regex>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string str("The quick brown fox");

    regex reg("\\s+");

    sregex_token_iterator iter(str.begin(), str.end(), reg, -1);
    sregex_token_iterator end;

    vector<string> vec(iter, end);

    for (auto a : vec)
    {
        cout << a << endl;
    }
}

Boost有很强的拆分功能:Boost::algorithm::split。

示例程序:

#include <vector>
#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>

int main() {
    auto s = "a,b, c ,,e,f,";
    std::vector<std::string> fields;
    boost::split(fields, s, boost::is_any_of(","));
    for (const auto& field : fields)
        std::cout << "\"" << field << "\"\n";
    return 0;
}

输出:

"a"
"b"
" c "
""
"e"
"f"
""

我认为这就是字符串流上的>>操作符的用途:

string word; sin >> word;

我知道这个问题已经有了答案，但我想有所贡献。也许我的解决方案有点简单，但这就是我想到的:

vector<string> get_words(string const& text, string const& separator)
{
    vector<string> result;
    string tmp = text;

    size_t first_pos = 0;
    size_t second_pos = tmp.find(separator);

    while (second_pos != string::npos)
    {
        if (first_pos != second_pos)
        {
            string word = tmp.substr(first_pos, second_pos - first_pos);
            result.push_back(word);
        }
        tmp = tmp.substr(second_pos + separator.length());
        second_pos = tmp.find(separator);
    }

    result.push_back(tmp);

    return result;
}

如果在我的代码中有更好的方法，或者有什么错误，请评论。

更新:添加通用分隔符

我只是看了所有的答案，找不到下一个前提条件的解决方案:

没有动态内存分配 不使用boost 不使用正则表达式 c++17标准
