Substring from a string

CodingLover

Hi all, I have string like this. First name: name I want to get the string after the ':'. What is the easiest way. I'm wired with my way, find the length, find the place where : sign include and stuck...

I appreciate your help all the time... Eranga :)

If you're using MFC, it'd be easily done with the CString::Mid() function:

CString str = \_T("Name: Rajesh");
int iPos = str.Find(\_T(":"),0);
AfxMessageBox(str.Mid(iPos+1));

Or, if you aren't using MFC, then perhaps this helps you:

TCHAR \*tch = new TCHAR(20);
tch = \_T("Name:Rajesh");

while(tch++)
{
	if(\*tch == ':')
	{
		::MessageBox(NULL, (tch+1), \_T("Message"), MB\_ICONINFORMATION);
		break;
	}
}delete tch;

And what is the purpose of heap allocated memory?

My bad mood perhaps? Seriously, just typed it out fast, tried and pasted here. Shouldn't have been fragmenting the precious heap though. Will take care of this in the future, my lord. :)

If CString is used, write

CString str;
str.Mid (str.Find (':'));

If not using CString, write

char* pszName = strstr (variable, ":");
if (pszName != NULL)
{
pszName is valid pointer.
}

This what I have done

    string strPT("First name: name");
int strLength = strPT.length();
int indexOfCol = strPT.find(':');

string strMess = strPT.substr(indexOfCol + 2, (strLength - indexOfCol));

I appreciate your help all the time... Eranga :)
