Assuming one of the delimiters is newline, the following reads the line and further splits it by the delimiters. For this example I’ve chosen the delimiters space, apostrophe, and semi-colon.
std::stringstream stringStream(inputString);
std::string line;
while(std::getline(stringStream, line))
{
std::size_t prev = 0, pos;
while ((pos = line.find_first_of(" ';", prev)) != std::string::npos)
{
if (pos > prev)
wordVector.push_back(line.substr(prev, pos-prev));
prev = pos+1;
}
if (prev < line.length())
wordVector.push_back(line.substr(prev, std::string::npos));
}
