Reversing a folder path in a string

[Lindsay]

How is this done?

For example:

How do I programmatically change "C:\Windows\System32" into
"System32\Windows\C:"?

Some pointers please?

Split it into strings, put the strings in a list, then print
the list backwards. I am not sure what "pointers" you need.
std::string has 'find', 'substr'. std::list has 'push_back'
and 'rbegin' and 'rend'. Beyond that I would be writing it
for you, and I don't want to.

Tokenize with your favorite tokenizer library(possibly boost's),put the
stuff into your favorite conatiner library(probably STL),then reverse
the container.

Instead of using container/ list, a separate string can also be used,
read the first string "C:\windows\system" and find "\" from reverse
side, then extract substrings, put into another output string as
system\windows\........
