Splitting a string in C++
I have a program that copies files.
I have a string which is a directory path, however it could be just a file name. For example:
rootdirname\childdirname\filename.ini
or it could be:
filename.ini
Im still quite new to C++, I need to split the string on \ and create directories with MKDir.
Any one know how to split the string??

Answer 1

I'm not sure how you are defining your string but if it is a char* you can use strtok. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstring/strtok/

Answer 2

You can use this C solution:
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstring/strtok/
This allows you to split a string in many tokens. You slip the string on "/" like you want.
There is also this answer here in Stackoverflow which I think it will help:

Answer 3

reinvented the wheel on linux
#include <string>
#include <sys/statfs.h>
bool existsDir( const std::string& dir ) {
return existsFile( dir );
}
bool existsFile( const std::string& file ) {
struct stat fileInfo;
int error = stat( file.c_str(), &fileInfo );
if( error == 0 ){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
bool createDir( std::string dir, int mask = S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO ) {
if( !existsDir( dir ) ) {
mkdir( dir.c_str(), mask );
return existsDir( dir );
} else {
return true;
}
}
bool createPath( std::string path, int mask = S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO ) {
if( path.at( path.length()-1 ) == '/' ){
path.erase( path.length()-1 );
}
std::list<std::string> pathParts;
int slashPos = 0;
while( true ) {
slashPos = path.find_first_of( "/", slashPos+1 );
if( slashPos < 0)
break;
std::string pp( path.substr( 0, slashPos ) );
pathParts.push_back( pp );
}
std::list<std::string>::const_iterator pp_cit;
for( pp_cit=pathParts.begin(); pp_cit!=pathParts.end(); ++pp_cit ){
createDir( (*pp_cit), mask );
}
createDir( path, mask );
return existsDir( path );
}
