Several `Delimiter` types are defined below. If a string // (`const char*`, `std::string`, or `absl::string_view`) is passed in place of // an explicit `Delimiter` object, `StrSplit()` treats it the same way as if it // were passed a `ByString` delimiter. // // A `Delimiter` is an object with a `Find()` function that knows how to find // the first occurrence of itself in a given `absl::string_view`. // // The following `Delimiter` types are available for use within `StrSplit()`: // // - `ByString` (default for string arguments) // - `ByChar` (default for a char argument) // - `ByAnyChar` // - `ByLength` // - `MaxSplits` // // A Delimiter's `Find()` member function will be passed an input `text` that is // to be split and a position (`pos`) to begin searching for the next delimiter // in `text`. The returned absl::string_view should refer to the next occurrence // (after `pos`) of the represented delimiter; this returned absl::string_view // represents the next location where the input `text` should be broken. // // The returned absl::string_view may be zero-length if the Delimiter does not // represent a part of the string (e.g., a fixed-length delimiter). If no // delimiter is found in the input `text`, a zero-length absl::string_view // referring to `text.end()` should be returned (e.g., // `text.substr(text.size())`). It is important that the returned // absl::string_view always be within the bounds of the input `text` given as an // argument--it must not refer to a string that is physically located outside of // the given string. // // The following example is a simple Delimiter object that is created with a // single char and will look for that char in the text passed to the `Find()` // function: // // struct SimpleDelimiter { // const char c_; // explicit SimpleDelimiter(char c) : c_(c) {} // absl::string_view Find(absl::string_view text, size_t pos) { // auto found = text.find(c_, pos); // if (found == absl::string_view::npos) // return text.substr(text.size()); // // return text.substr(found, 1); // } // }; // ByString // // A sub-string delimiter. If `StrSplit()` is passed a string in place of a // `Delimiter` object, the string will be implicitly converted into a // `ByString` delimiter. // // Example: // // // Because a string literal is converted to an `absl::ByString`, // // the following two splits are equivalent. // // std::vector<std::string> v1 = absl::StrSplit("a, b, c", ", "); // // using absl::ByString; // std::vector<std::string> v2 = absl::StrSplit("a, b, c", // ByString(", ")); // // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[2] == "c" class ByString { … }; // ByAsciiWhitespace // // A sub-string delimiter that splits by ASCII whitespace // (space, tab, vertical tab, formfeed, linefeed, or carriage return). // Note: you probably want to use absl::SkipEmpty() as well! // // This class is equivalent to ByAnyChar with ASCII whitespace chars. // // Example: // // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit( // "a b\tc\n d \n", absl::ByAsciiWhitespace(), absl::SkipEmpty()); // // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[2] == "c", v[3] == "d" class ByAsciiWhitespace { … }; // ByChar // // A single character delimiter. `ByChar` is functionally equivalent to a // 1-char string within a `ByString` delimiter, but slightly more efficient. // // Example: // // // Because a char literal is converted to a absl::ByChar, // // the following two splits are equivalent. // std::vector<std::string> v1 = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ','); // using absl::ByChar; // std::vector<std::string> v2 = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ByChar(',')); // // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[2] == "c" // // `ByChar` is also the default delimiter if a single character is given // as the delimiter to `StrSplit()`. For example, the following calls are // equivalent: // // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("a-b", '-'); // // using absl::ByChar; // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("a-b", ByChar('-')); // class ByChar { … }; // ByAnyChar // // A delimiter that will match any of the given byte-sized characters within // its provided string. // // Note: this delimiter works with single-byte string data, but does not work // with variable-width encodings, such as UTF-8. // // Example: // // using absl::ByAnyChar; // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("a,b=c", ByAnyChar(",=")); // // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b", v[2] == "c" // // If `ByAnyChar` is given the empty string, it behaves exactly like // `ByString` and matches each individual character in the input string. // class ByAnyChar { … }; // ByLength // // A delimiter for splitting into equal-length strings. The length argument to // the constructor must be greater than 0. // // Note: this delimiter works with single-byte string data, but does not work // with variable-width encodings, such as UTF-8. // // Example: // // using absl::ByLength; // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("123456789", ByLength(3)); // // v[0] == "123", v[1] == "456", v[2] == "789" // // Note that the string does not have to be a multiple of the fixed split // length. In such a case, the last substring will be shorter. // // using absl::ByLength; // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit("12345", ByLength(2)); // // // v[0] == "12", v[1] == "34", v[2] == "5" class ByLength { … }; namespace strings_internal { // A traits-like metafunction for selecting the default Delimiter object type // for a particular Delimiter type.

A predicate may be passed // as an optional third argument to the `StrSplit()` function. // // Predicates are unary functions (or functors) that take a single // `absl::string_view` argument and return a bool indicating whether the // argument should be included (`true`) or excluded (`false`). // // Predicates are useful when filtering out empty substrings. By default, empty // substrings may be returned by `StrSplit()`, which is similar to the way split // functions work in other programming languages. // AllowEmpty() // // Always returns `true`, indicating that all strings--including empty // strings--should be included in the split output. This predicate is not // strictly needed because this is the default behavior of `StrSplit()`; // however, it might be useful at some call sites to make the intent explicit. // // Example: // // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(" a , ,,b,", ',', AllowEmpty()); // // // v[0] == " a ", v[1] == " ", v[2] == "", v[3] = "b", v[4] == "" struct AllowEmpty { … }; // SkipEmpty() // // Returns `false` if the given `absl::string_view` is empty, indicating that // `StrSplit()` should omit the empty string. // // Example: // // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(",a,,b,", ',', SkipEmpty()); // // // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "b" // // Note: `SkipEmpty()` does not consider a string containing only whitespace // to be empty. To skip such whitespace as well, use the `SkipWhitespace()` // predicate. struct SkipEmpty { … }; // SkipWhitespace() // // Returns `false` if the given `absl::string_view` is empty *or* contains only // whitespace, indicating that `StrSplit()` should omit the string. // // Example: // // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(" a , ,,b,", // ',', SkipWhitespace()); // // v[0] == " a ", v[1] == "b" // // // SkipEmpty() would return whitespace elements // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(" a , ,,b,", ',', SkipEmpty()); // // v[0] == " a ", v[1] == " ", v[2] == "b" struct SkipWhitespace { … }; EnableSplitIfString; //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // StrSplit() //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // StrSplit() // // Splits a given string based on the provided `Delimiter` object, returning the // elements within the type specified by the caller. Optionally, you may pass a // `Predicate` to `StrSplit()` indicating whether to include or exclude the // resulting element within the final result set.

You can optionally // include a third `Predicate` argument to apply a test for whether the // resultant element should be included in the result set: // // Example: // // std::vector<std::string> v = absl::StrSplit(" a , ,,b,", // ',', SkipWhitespace()); // // v[0] == " a ", v[1] == "b" // // See above for more information on predicates. // //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // StrSplit() Return Types //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // // The `StrSplit()` function adapts the returned collection to the collection // specified by the caller (e.g. `std::vector` above). The returned collections // may contain `std::string`, `absl::string_view` (in which case the original // string being split must ensure that it outlives the collection), or any // object that can be explicitly created from an `absl::string_view`. This // behavior works for: // // 1) All standard STL containers including `std::vector`, `std::list`, // `std::deque`, `std::set`,`std::multiset`, 'std::map`, and `std::multimap` // 2) `std::pair` (which is not actually a container). See below. // // Example: // // // The results are returned as `absl::string_view` objects. Note that we // // have to ensure that the input string outlives any results. // std::vector<absl::string_view> v = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ','); // // // Stores results in a std::set<std::string>, which also performs // // de-duplication and orders the elements in ascending order. // std::set<std::string> a = absl::StrSplit("b,a,c,a,b", ','); // // a[0] == "a", a[1] == "b", a[2] == "c" // // // `StrSplit()` can be used within a range-based for loop, in which case // // each element will be of type `absl::string_view`. // std::vector<std::string> v; // for (const auto sv : absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ',')) { // if (sv != "b") v.emplace_back(sv); // } // // v[0] == "a", v[1] == "c" // // // Stores results in a map. The map implementation assumes that the input // // is provided as a series of key/value pairs. For example, the 0th element // // resulting from the split will be stored as a key to the 1st element. If // // an odd number of elements are resolved, the last element is paired with // // a default-constructed value (e.g., empty string). // std::map<std::string, std::string> m = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ','); // // m["a"] == "b", m["c"] == "" // last component value equals "" // // Splitting to `std::pair` is an interesting case because it can hold only two // elements and is not a collection type. When splitting to a `std::pair` the // first two split strings become the `std::pair` `.first` and `.second` // members, respectively. The remaining split substrings are discarded. If there // are less than two split substrings, the empty string is used for the // corresponding `std::pair` member. // // Example: // // // Stores first two split strings as the members in a std::pair. // std::pair<std::string, std::string> p = absl::StrSplit("a,b,c", ','); // // p.first == "a", p.second == "b" // "c" is omitted. // // The `StrSplit()` function can be used multiple times to perform more // complicated splitting logic, such as intelligently parsing key-value pairs. // // Example: // // // The input string "a=b=c,d=e,f=,g" becomes // // { "a" => "b=c", "d" => "e", "f" => "", "g" => "" } // std::map<std::string, std::string> m; // for (absl::string_view sp : absl::StrSplit("a=b=c,d=e,f=,g", ',')) { // m.insert(absl::StrSplit(sp, absl::MaxSplits('=', 1))); // } // EXPECT_EQ("b=c", m.find("a")->second); // EXPECT_EQ("e", m.find("d")->second); // EXPECT_EQ("", m.find("f")->second); // EXPECT_EQ("", m.find("g")->second); // // WARNING: Due to a legacy bug that is maintained for backward compatibility, // splitting the following empty string_views produces different results: // // absl::StrSplit(absl::string_view(""), '-'); // {""} // absl::StrSplit(absl::string_view(), '-'); // {}, but should be {""} // // Try not to depend on this distinction because the bug may one day be fixed. template <typename Delimiter> strings_internal::Splitter< typename strings_internal::SelectDelimiter<Delimiter>::type, AllowEmpty, absl::string_view> StrSplit(strings_internal::ConvertibleToStringView text, Delimiter d) { … } template <typename Delimiter, typename StringType, EnableSplitIfString<StringType> = 0> strings_internal::Splitter< typename strings_internal::SelectDelimiter<Delimiter>::type, AllowEmpty, std::string> StrSplit(StringType&& text, Delimiter d) { … } template <typename Delimiter, typename Predicate> strings_internal::Splitter< typename strings_internal::SelectDelimiter<Delimiter>::type, Predicate, absl::string_view> StrSplit(strings_internal::ConvertibleToStringView text, Delimiter d, Predicate p) { … } template <typename Delimiter, typename Predicate, typename StringType, EnableSplitIfString<StringType> = 0> strings_internal::Splitter< typename strings_internal::SelectDelimiter<Delimiter>::type, Predicate, std::string> StrSplit(StringType&& text, Delimiter d, Predicate p) { … } ABSL_NAMESPACE_END } // namespace absl #endif // ABSL_STRINGS_STR_SPLIT_H_
