C++ question: strings

[VJ]

Hello,

I have a programming question... Suppose I have an std:: string with the contents "1,2,3,4,5"; and I want to convert it to 5 integer values.
One option is to use

char buffer[80]
strcpy (burffer, input.c_str());
char* token = strtok(buffer, ",");   // strtok modifies the argument
int a = atoi(token)
 char* token = strtok(null, ",");
int b = atoi(token)
...

Is there a C++ equivalent to do this?
I know I can convert a string to an integer using sstream:

std::istringstream OutputStream(myString);
int a;
OutputStream >> a;

But is there a way to split an std::string into tokens (similarly to strtok) ?

I seem to recall there is a way of specifying delimber chars for input streams, but don't remember....

Thanks!

Found a nice implementation:
