C++: How to split a string?

you have to use a loop to traverse whole string, then compare each character with the space.. if space character is found it means you have to store next characters to next string variable.. check this example i've made for you: #include<iostream.h> #include<conio.h> #include<stdio.h> void main() { char str[2000],words[100][20]; //it can have 100 words of lentgh 20 characters int i,word_cnt=0,char_cnt=0; clrscr(); cout<<"Enter any string:"; gets(str); for(i=0;str[i]!='\0';i++) { if(str[i]!=' ') { words[word_cnt][char_cnt]=str[i]; char_cnt++; }else{ words[word_cnt][char_cnt]='\0'; char_cnt=0; word_cnt++; } } cout<<"Seprated words:"<<endl; for(i=0;i<=word_cnt;i++) { cout<<words[i]<<endl; } getch(); }

int i,j; char x[50]="John Smith\0", x1[25], x2[25]; i=0; while (x[i]!=' ') { x1[i]=x[i]; i++; } x1[i]='/0'; j=i+1; i=0; while (x[j]!='\0') { x2[i]=x[j]; i++; j++; } x2[i]='\0'; //now x1=John and x2=Smith i=0; j=0; while (x2[i]!='\0') { x[i]=x2[i]; i++; } while (x1[j]!='\0') { x[i]=x1[j]; i++; j++; } x[i]='\0'; // now x = SmithJohn
