im trying to get a user input: "aa bb cc dd ee" etc. which is stored in a single string and put it in multiple strings string_1 "aa", string_2 "bb", string_3 "cc", string_4 "dd", string_5 "ee" etc.
string str;
cin >> str; //user input
//code to split the string
string str_1, str_2, str_3, str_4, str_5;
The std::istream& operator>>(std::istream&, std::string) already does that splitting for you. Inputs are separated from whitespaces.
So writing
std::string str_1, str_2, str_3, str_4, str_5;
std::cin >> str_1 >> str_2 >> str_3 >> str_4 >> str_5;
will do what you want to achieve.
If you really need to have the input stored into a single string 1st, you should use the std::getline() function:
std::string str;
std::getline(std::cin,str);
and use a std::istringstream to split up the individual values:
std::istringstream iss(str);
iss >> str_1 >> str_2 >> str_3 >> str_4 >> str_5;
#include <stringstream>
int main()
{
std::string MasterString = "Super cali\nfragelistic \n expialadogis\n then more words\n hello world";
std::stringstream iss(MasterString);
while(iss.good())
{
std::string SingleLine;
getline(iss,SingleLine,'\n');
// Process SingleLine here
}
}
something like this.
cin >> str;will receive the 1st word of your input only.cin >> str_1 >> str_2 >> str_3 >> str_4 >> str_5;?
