splitting a string

[potatoCode]

Can any 1 help me plz...

Write down how you'd do it on a piece of paper, and turn that into a code.
It will do you some good.

Here is a small, simple, and easy to understand code snippet that splits the string.
I deliberately made errors in it for you to fix,
the work of which I believe would benefit your debugging skills.

// std::vector is a dynamic array,
// more flexible, safe, and easy to manage than a fixed array
void Chunkify(const string& str, vector<string> result)
{
    // to avoid magic number (it gives meaningful name to the number)
    const int DistanceToPeek = 1;

    // iterator is a companion to all STL containers (and std::string)
    // iterators behaves like a pointer (but they are not pointers)
    string::const_iterator iter = str.begin();

    // local object to add each chracter
    string chunk;

    // std::string::begin(), end() returns a compatible iterator
    while (iter != str.end())
    {
        // is the char equal to the delimiter, AND
        // and is not the last chracter?
        if(*iter == '$' && ( (iter + DistanceToPeek) != str.end()) )
        {
            // if yes, store the string into the dynamic array
            result.push_back(chunk);

            // clear the chunk string to start a whole new chunk of word
            // but how?

            // don't store the $ sign, just skip to the next char
            ++iter;
        }

        // anything but the $, we store it to the temporary string
        chunk.push_back(*iter++);

        // we increment the iterator to search for...
        iter += 2;

        // check to see if the last string has been read
        if(iter == str.end())
        {
            // if so, we store the last piece of the chunk
            // and let the scope clear (destroy) the variable named chunk
            result.push_back(chunk);
        }
    }
}
