[RESOLVED] Parsing a string

Hello

g++ (GCC) 4.6.2

I have a string that I need parse. The string is sdp information. I am trying to seperate each of the elements into seperate strings. Basically the string would contain some thing like this:

Code:

---

v=0 o=sip_user IN 10230 22472 IP4 NET.CAT.NTBC s=SIP_CALL c=IN IP4 10.10.10.44 m=audio 49152 RTP/AVP 0 8 a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000 a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000

---

What is the best method to get the ip address?

I was trying something like this:

Code:

---

char *ip_addr = NULL;
ip_addr = strstr(sdp_string, "c=") ;
if(ip_addr ! = NULL) {
printf("foundline: [%s]", ip_addr) ;
}

---

Many thanks for any advice.

I see no problem in using strstr like you posted, altough if you wish to make use of the c++ standard library theres always the string class.

Code:

---

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        std::string input("etc etc etc c=127.0.0.1 m=ABC");
        size_t ip_pos = input.find("c=");
        if(std::string::npos == ip_pos)
        {
                std::cout << "Can not find c=" << std::endl;
                return -1;
        }

        ip_pos += 2;

        size_t whitespace_pos = input.find(" ", ip_pos);
        if(std::string::npos == ip_pos)
        {
                std::cout << "No whitespace found, invalid input." << std::endl;
                return -1;
        }

        std::string ip_address = input.substr(ip_pos, whitespace_pos - ip_pos);
        std::cout << "Address: " ip_address << std::endl;
        return 0;
}

If you intend to do alot of string parsing and/or favour more elegant approaches AND you are able to use other libraries, have a look at the Boost regexp classes.
