I need to parse the string into name, gender, and age variables. What would be the best way to do it in C++? I was thinking about looping and set the condition to while(!string.empty()
and then assign all characters up until the ‘^’ to a string, and then erase what I have already assigned. Is there a better way of doing this?

You can use getline in C++ stream.

istream& getline(istream& is,string& str,char delimiter=’\n’)

change delimiter to ‘^’
