c++ - Split a string using C++11

Question

What would be easiest method to split a string using c++11?

I've seen the method used by this post, but I feel that there ought to be a less verbose way of doing it using the new standard.

Edit: I would like to have a vector<string> as a result and be able to delimitate on a single character.

std::regex_token_iterator performs generic tokenization based on a regex. It may or may not be overkill for doing simple splitting on a single character, but it works and is not too verbose:

std::vector<std::string> split(const string& input, const string& regex) {
    // passing -1 as the submatch index parameter performs splitting
    std::regex re(regex);
    std::sregex_token_iterator
        first{input.begin(), input.end(), re, -1},
        last;
    return {first, last};
}
