c++ - Convert String containing several numbers into integers

Question

I realize that this question may have been asked several times in the past, but I am going to continue regardless.

I have a program that is going to get a string of numbers from keyboard input. The numbers will always be in the form "66 33 9" Essentially, every number is separated with a space, and the user input will always contain a different amount of numbers.

I'm aware that using 'sscanf' would work if the amount of numbers in every user-entered string was constant, but this is not the case for me. Also, because I'm new to C++, I'd prefer dealing with 'string' variables rather than arrays of chars.

Answer 1

I assume you want to read an entire line, and parse that as input. So, first grab the line:

std::string input;
std::getline(std::cin, input);

Now put that in a stringstream:

std::stringstream stream(input);

and parse

while(1) {
   int n;
   stream >> n;
   if(!stream)
      break;
   std::cout << "Found integer: " << n << "
";
}

Remember to include

#include <string>
#include <sstream>
