Is there a function that does what std::getline does, but takes more than one delimiter? I want it to stop after line breaks and spaces: '' '' ^ ''\n'' -CProgrammer

It would be very easy to write your own.

I had the same problem a while back with ignoring comments behind '';''s in script files, it ended up I had to write my own function.

The ''extraction operator'' uses both spaces and newlines as delimiters iirc.

I can easily write my own String tokenizer in C but im trying to cut back on code and stick to C++.
magmai: Is boost::tokenizer a part of stl or what exactly are you refering to.
Extrarius: extraction operator? Coiuld you be more precise, perhaps an example.
Thanks

extraction operator: >>

I guess you can use that if its only whitspace and line breaks you need it to stop at.
