Re: [Boost-users] Newbie String Splitting Question

Hi

Two questions related to string tokenization.

1. Which is preferred? using "split" or the "tokenizer class"? 2. Both of these methods seem geared towards splitting on characters rather than splitting on substrings. Is there yet another method that is preferred for splitting a string on an exact substring? If I want to split "I<mark>Am<mark>A<mark>Test" into I, Am, A, Test, what is the best way? It seems that for split I'll have to write my own predicate, and for tokenizer, I'll have to write my own tokenizerFunction.

Or a third way: you could use a regex_token_iteror and split on regexes. John.
