Split Function

[dsheller]

Is there a split function in some of the more common libraries or would I have to write my own, I need something with the power of the vb split function. Thanks in advance.

Single-char splitter.

TCHAR** VirtualSplitString(TCHAR* pString, TCHAR sep, int& uBound)
{
    unsigned long s = 0; unsigned long i = 0;
    TCHAR** pArray = (TCHAR**)calloc(strlen(pString), sizeof(TCHAR*));
	
    //allocate empty storage
    
    //the first array
    pArray[0] = (TCHAR*)calloc(1024, sizeof(TCHAR));

    //separate an array...
    while(*pString)
    {
        //go through the string, find position
        if(*pString == sep)
        {    
            i++;
            s = 0; //current position
            //allocate space for new input
            pArray[i] = (TCHAR*)calloc(1024, sizeof(TCHAR));
        }
        else
        {
            //get the current character and set it
            pArray[i][s] = *pString;

            //increase character position
            s++;
        }

        //increase string position
        pString++;

    }
    
    uBound = ++i;

    //return the pArray data type
    return pArray;
};

//Frees a buffer
void VirtualFreeHuge(char** pString, int uBound)
{
	//free each of the items
	for(int i = 0; i <= uBound; i++)
		free(pString[i]);

	//free the item itself
	free(pString);
};
