best way to tokenize an std::string?

So I need to split a c++ string object based on some delimiters. what strtok() does on c-strings is basicaly what I need to do. I was looking at the stringstream class and was thinking I could use that, but input is always split on whitespace and I can't find a way to tell it my own delimiters.

Besides just calling c_str() and using strtok, how can I easily get it's equilivant?

maybe a combination of string.find() and substring()

Use the PCRE library.

I'd rather suffocate myself with my own tounge than do anything with strings in C/C++/Java

With std::basic_string it's a piece of cake.

C and Java suck though, C less as pointer magic is fun.

Try this:

vector<string> tokenise(const string& str, const string& delims)
{
    vector<string> strlist;
    int start, end = 0;

    while((start = str.find_first_not_of(delims, end)) != string::npos)
    {
        end = str.find_first_of(delims, start);
        if (end == string::npos)
        {
            strlist.push_back(str.substr(start));
            return strlist;
        }

        strlist.push_back(str.substr(start, end - start));
    }

    return strlist;
}

Property Name="UnifiedAreaRect" Value="{{left_relative,left_offset},{top_relative,top_offset},{right_relative,right_offset},{bottom_relative,bottom_offset}}" />

the awesomenes of CEGUIs layout syntax > all.
ok, the only other layout syntax i know is css and it sucks so much.

CSS > XML
Imagine the pain in the arse it would have been if it had been XML.

Everything should be XML. For an example of the superiority of XML, I present my .fonts.conf file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
   <const>hintfull</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
   <const></const>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>See how much more readable, maintainable, scalable and enterprisey this is compared to an ugly hack such as:
hinting=true
hintstyle=hintful
rgba=
