Hi, You can use tokenizer facilities provided in the string_algo library. They can operate on char* as well as on std::string. Here are the references. http://www.boost.org/doc/html/string_algo/usage.html#id1638440 http://www.boost.org/doc/html/string_algo/reference.html#header.boost.algori... http://www.boost.org/doc/html/string_algo/reference.html#header.boost.algori...

Hi,

I am doing very large loop where i need to tokenize a string in each iteration.

At each iteration of the loop there will be a string contained in char*.

It seems that in order to use the boost tokenizer, it is necessary to copy the string into a std::string rather than using the data directly from the char*. This is adding a copy for each iteration to the loop.

Is there no way to use the tokenizer directly on a char* rather than std::string?

Thank you, Ivan Novick http://www.0x4849.net
