Question

You know those annoying things that C++ doesn’t do very intuitively, like splitting strings on custom delimiters or creating dynamically expanding arrays/vectors… is there any snippet library (I keep seeing boost all over the place, please let me know if that is the solution), that I should be aware of? Or maybe a website that has a number of them so that I can refresh my knowledge of C++… anything to that end is acceptable.

Thanks SOCommunity!

Answer 1

The two particular examples you give are both covered by the standard library – stringstream and getline() to split strings, and vector for a dynamic array.

That should be the first place to look; Boost is a good resource when the standard library doesn’t meet your needs.
