Convert a string into an array of integers - c++

Question

I ve got a string which is white space seperated integer numbers and I want to convert it in array of vector of intergers. My string is like the:
6 9 17 5 3 4 10 12 7 3 5 10 6 5 0 10 10 10 13 3 6 10 2 11 33 9 14 7 0 8 7 6 38 2 23 8 4 52 7 3 19 12 2 22 3 6 3 1 2 1 5 17 13 5 1 6 0 12 6 9 15 2 22 0 27 2 3 4 7 2 8 2 8 6 11 22 4 9 4 1 1 2 2 16 8 3 1 8 0 4 4 2 1 10 24 15 8 2 6 9
How is it possible to convert it to array/vector??

Answer 1

Use std::istream_iterator. Example:
std::vector<int> vector(std::istream_iterator<int>(std::cin), std::istream_iterator<int>());
Or, with std::string:
std::string s = "6 9 17 5 3 4 10 12 7 3 5 10 6 5 0 10 10 10 13 3 6 10 2 11 33 9 14 7 0 8 7 6 38 2 23 8 4 52 7 3 19 12 2 22 3 6 3 1 2 1 5 17 13 5 1 6 0 12 6 9 15 2 22 0 27 2 3 4 7 2 8 2 8 6 11 22 4 9 4 1 1 2 2 16 8 3 1 8 0 4 4 2 1 10 24 15 8 2 6 9";
std::stringstream ss(s);
std::vector<int> vec((std::istream_iterator<int>(ss)), (std::istream_iterator<int>()));

Answer 2

This following code does what you need:
std::istringstream iss(my_string);
std::vector<int> v((std::istream_iterator<int>(iss)),
(std::istream_iterator<int>()));

Answer 3

Here is a ready to use example with all required headers
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>
int main()
{
std::string s = "6 9 17 5 3 4 10 12 7 3 5 10 6 5 0 10 10 10 13 3 6 10 2 11 33 9 14 7 0 8 7 6 38 2 23 8 4 52 ";
std::istringstream is( s );
std::vector<int> v;
std::transform( std::istream_iterator<std::string>( is ),
std::istream_iterator<std::string>(),
std::back_inserter( v ),
[]( const std::string &s ) { return ( std::stoi( s ) ); } );
for ( int x : v ) std::cout << x << ' ';
std::cout << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Or indeed instead of algorithm std::transform you can use simply the constructor of class std::vector that accepts two iterators as for example
std::vector<int> v( ( std::istream_iterator<int>( is ) ),
std::istream_iterator<int>() );
Or
std::vector<int> v( { std::istream_iterator<int>( is ),
std::istream_iterator<int>() } );

Answer 4

I see some older and smarter way of doing that:
#include <stdlib.h> /* strtol */
char *numbers = "6 9 17 5 3 4 10 12 7 3 5 10 6 5 0 10 10 10 13 3 6 10 2 11 33 9 14 7 0 8 7 6 38 2 23 8 4 52 7 3 19 12 2 22 3 6 3 1 2 1 5 17 13 5 1 6 0 12 6 9 15 2 22 0 27 2 3 4 7 2 8 2 8 6 11 22 4 9 4 1 1 2 2 16 8 3 1 8 0 4 4 2 1 10 24 15 8 2 6 9"
long table[512];
char *pt;
int i=0;
pt = numbers;
while(pt != NULL)
table[i++] = strtol (pt,&pt,10);
