Using this three column tab delimited text file: https://pastebin.com/vdgcyzfm

I want to read each line > delimit at tab> append each word from each column into a separate vector string

ie. col1, col2, col3

col1 = artless, bawdy, ... etc..
..
..

I know how to read each line, but I'm having trouble finding a simple way to split the lines into words and appending them into their respective column vector.

strtok with \t as the delimiter

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstring/strtok/

PHP Code


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

int main()
{
    char data[] = "Hello,\tmy\tname\tis\tOliver";
    printf("%s\n\n", data);
    
    char* piece = strtok(data,"\t");
    
    do
    {
        printf("%s\n",piece);
    } while ((piece = strtok(NULL,"\t")));

    return 0;
}

Thanks I'll try it out.

Posted an example for reference.

I should have specified I'm using c++, so I'd have to convert my string to a cstring. I'll try it anyways I guess.

In that case, you're going to want to use a stringstream with a back_insert_iterator to do the job. Example here:

PHP Code


<?php 
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>

int main()
{
    std::string s = "Hello\tmy\tname\tis\tOliver";
    std::stringstream ss;
    ss.str(s);
    std::string item;
    std::vector<std::string> pieces;
    
    while (std::getline(ss, item, '\t')) {
        *(std::back_insert_iterator<std::vector<std::string>>(pieces)++) = item;
    }
    
    for (std::string p : pieces)
        std::cout << p << std::endl;
}

This is my code currently:

Code

void InsultGenerator::initialize(){

    string line;
    vector<string> insults;
    ifstream file("InsultsSource.txt");

    if(file.is_open()){

        while(getline(file, line)){

            stringstream ss;
            ss.str(line);
            string word;
            while(getline(ss, word, '/t')){
                cout << word << endl;
                insults.push_back(word);
            }
        }
        file.close();

    }else{
        cout << "unable to open file\n";
    }
}

But I get error: no matching function for call to 'getline'. Parameter type mismatch: types char and 'stringstream' are not compatible. etc.. (using namespace std)

A good reason why not to use 'using namespace std;' as pointed out in pretty much any tutorial you'll find. GCC has extensions to this function btw.

I get the errors with or without using namespace std.

error: no matching function for call to 'getline'
while(std::getline(ss, word, '/t')){

Ah, '/t' was supposed to be '\t'. Such a stupid mistake LOL
Sucks the error's aren't more specific.
