How to split a string

General JUCE discussion
1

Hi ,
Suppose string values is “ab_db_ef_gh_ij”. I want to split this string in terms of “_” and obtain a StringArray consisting of ad,df,ef,gh . Is there any inbuilt method in JUCE to split a sting

i use that a lot so i’ll be writing from memory

StrigArray tokens;
tokens.addTokens (myString, "_", "\"");

for (int i=0; i<tokens.size(); i++)
{
   tokens[i]; // holds next token
}

(changed according to jules hints below)

Thanks atom, but please avoid the T() macro in string literals now! Just

tokens.addTokens (myString, "_", "\"");

is shorter, neater, and (now that strings use UTF8 internally), faster!

There’s no need to change your old stuff, it’ll still work fine - just avoid it in new code!
