Using strtok, need to insert null into vector

[krini_pop]

I have a string that is delimited by commas. I'm using strtok and
putting the values in a vector. In some cases, I may have 2 commas side
by side and therefore need it to insert a null value. Right now, when
it encounters this it puts the next value in the vector and throws
everything else off. Does anyone know how I can insert a null value
when tokenizing a string?

Thanks

Yeah, don't use strtok. The definition of strtok says that multiple
delimiters will be rolled into one. You might get your test into a
std::string, and use find_first_of()

First, you need to read the FAQ, paying special attention to section
5.8. Then, feel free to post again and we'll be glad to help.

Here is one I've worked up for this sort of task. If you need
strtok()'s ability to have multiple delimiters, then you'll have to
work it out yourself.

#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

void Explode(const string &inString, vector<string> &outVector, char
separator)
{
stringstream inStream(inString);
string tempString;

while (getline(inStream, tempString, separator))
outVector.push_back(tempString);
}

int main()
{
string s = "one,two,three,,five";
vector<string> vec;

Explode (s, vec, ',');


for (int i = 0; i < vec.size(); i++)
cout << i << ": " << vec << endl;

return 0;
}


Result:

0: one
1: two
2: three
3:
4: five
