Question

I have a string, “s”, which I would like to obtain a substring of by starting a the begging (position 0), and end at a space- so that if someone were to, for instance, enter their full name, I could determine their first name.

I could have sworn their was a substring function that could ‘search’ until a certain character was found. Thanks in advance!

Something like this would work:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::string str = "Person Name";
    size_t pos = str.find(" ");
    std::cout << str.substr(0,pos);
}
