Get Substring

[vcstarter]

I do have a string given to me as

CString strString = "ON,IN,1,0 ms";

I want to separate the string to another string where I have to look for the comma

I want the other string to be something like

CString strString2[4]

where

strString2[0] = "ON"
strString2[1] = "IN"
strString2[2] = "1"
strString2[3] = "0ms"

I want to know what function should I use to split that string on the form above.

If you have VC.net which uses the "new" CSimpleStringT you can use Tokenize which works like the old strtok. Otherwise you can do it with CString::Find, CString::Mid and a while loop.

One little function for that would be:
void ChopString(CString& src,const char seperator,CStringArray& ary)
{
int index=0;
CString leftover,temp;
do
{
index=src.Find(seperator);
leftover=src.Mid(index+1,src.GetLength()-index-1);
if(index!=-1) temp=src.Left(index);
else
temp=src;
ary.Add(temp);
src=leftover;
}while(index!=-1);

}

There is a function that does whatever you want to get substrings.

It is called AfxExtractSubstring. It is not well documented, but if you type it in VC++ editor you will see its parameters.
