#include <iostream>
#include <TNL/String.h>
using namespace TNL;

Splits string into list of strings with respect to given separator.

This method splits the string into sequence of substrings divided by occurrences of separator. It returns the list of those strings via std::vector. When separator does not appear anywhere in the given string, this function returns a single-element list containing given sting. If skipEmpty equals SkipEmpty no empty substrings are inserted into the resulting container.

Parameters
separatoris a character separating substrings in given string.
skipEmpty
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <TNL/String.h>
using namespace TNL;
int
main()
{

std::vector< String > list = dates.split( ';' );
std::cout << "list_dates = " << list[ 0 ] << ", " << list[ 1 ] << ", " << list[ 2 ] << std::endl;
String cars( "Subaru,Mazda,,Skoda," );
std::vector< String > list3 = cars.split( ',', String::SplitSkip::SkipEmpty );
std::cout << "split with String::SkipEmpty = " << list3[ 0 ] << ", " << list3[ 1 ] << ", " << list3[ 2 ] << std::endl;
std::vector< String > list5 = cars.split( ',' );
std::cout << "split without String::SkipEmpty = " << list5[ 0 ] << ", " << list5[ 1 ] << ", " << list5[ 2 ] << ", "
<< list5[ 3 ] << std::endl;
}
Output
list_dates = 3/4/2005, 8/7/2011, 11/12/2019
split with String::SkipEmpty = Subaru, Mazda, Skoda
split without String::SkipEmpty = Subaru, Mazda, , Skoda

◆ strip()

String TNL::String::strip ( char strip = ' ') const
inlinenodiscard

Trims/strips this string.

Removes all 'spaces' from given string except for single 'spaces' between words.

Parameters
stripcan be used to change the character to be removed.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <TNL/String.h>
using namespace TNL;
int
main()
{
String names( " Josh Martin John Marley Charles " );
String names2( ".......Josh Martin...John..Marley.Charles..." );
std::cout << "names strip is: " << names.strip() << std::endl;
std::cout << "names2 strip is: " << names.strip( '.' ) << std::endl;
}
Output
names strip is: Josh Martin John Marley Charles
names2 strip is: Josh Martin John Marley Charles
