<h1 align="center">Introduction</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p align="left">The Boost Tokenizer package provides a flexible and
|
|
easy-to-use way to break a string or other character sequence into a series
|
|
of tokens. Below is a simple example that will break up a phrase into
|
|
words.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div align="left">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
// simple_example_1.cpp
|
|
#include<iostream>
|
|
#include<boost/tokenizer.hpp>
|
|
#include<string>
|
|
|
|
int main(){
|
|
using namespace std;
|
|
using namespace boost;
|
|
string s = "This is, a test";
|
|
tokenizer<> tok(s);
|
|
for(tokenizer<>::iterator beg=tok.begin(); beg!=tok.end();++beg){
|
|
cout << *beg << "\n";
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p align="left">You can choose how the string gets parsed by using the
|
|
TokenizerFunction. If you do not specify anything, the default
|
|
TokenizerFunction is <em>char_delimiters_separator<char></em> which
|
|
defaults to breaking up a string based on space and punctuation. Here is an
|
|
example using another TokenizerFunction called
|
|
<em>escaped_list_separator</em>. This TokenizerFunction parses a superset
|
|
of comma-separated value (CSV) lines. The format looks like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p align="left">Field 1,"putting quotes around fields, allows commas",Field
|
|
3</p>
|
|
|
|
<p align="left">Below is an example that will break the previous line into
|
|
its three fields.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div align="left">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
// simple_example_2.cpp
|
|
#include<iostream>
|
|
#include<boost/tokenizer.hpp>
|
|
#include<string>
|
|
|
|
int main(){
|
|
using namespace std;
|
|
using namespace boost;
|
|
string s = "Field 1,\"putting quotes around fields, allows commas\",Field 3";
|
|
tokenizer<escaped_list_separator<char> > tok(s);
|
|
for(tokenizer<escaped_list_separator<char> >::iterator beg=tok.begin(); beg!=tok.end();++beg){
|
|
cout << *beg << "\n";
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p align="left">Finally, for some TokenizerFunctions you have to pass
|
|
something into the constructor in order to do anything interesting. An
|
|
example is the offset_separator. This class breaks a string into tokens based
|
|
on offsets. For example, when <em>12252001</em> is parsed using offsets of
|
|
2,2,4 it becomes <em>12 25 2001</em>. Below is the code used.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div align="left">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
// simple_example_3.cpp
|
|
#include<iostream>
|
|
#include<boost/tokenizer.hpp>
|
|
#include<string>
|
|
|
|
int main(){
|
|
using namespace std;
|
|
using namespace boost;
|
|
string s = "12252001";
|
|
int offsets[] = {2,2,4};
|
|
offset_separator f(offsets, offsets+3);
|
|
tokenizer<offset_separator> tok(s,f);
|
|
for(tokenizer<offset_separator>::iterator beg=tok.begin(); beg!=tok.end();++beg){
|
|
cout << *beg << "\n";
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
