Using Boost Tokenizer escaped_list_separator with different parameters

Answer 1

It seems like you're declaring your tokenizer type incorrectly.

typedef boost::tokenizer< boost::escaped_list_separator<char> > Tokenizer;
boost::escaped_list_separator<char> Separator( '\\', ' ', '\"' );
Tokenizer tok( s, Separator );

for( Tokenizer::iterator iter = tok.begin(); iter != tok.end(); ++iter )
{ cout << *iter << "\n"; }

You want to make a boost::tokenizer< boost::escaped_list_separator< char > > typed object with a boost::escaped_list_separator< char > separator object as its TokenizerFunc.

try this:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/tokenizer.hpp>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    using namespace boost;
    string s = "exec script1 \"script argument number one\"";
    string separator1("");//dont let quoted arguments escape themselves
    string separator2(" ");//split on spaces
    string separator3("\"\'");//let it have quoted arguments

    escaped_list_separator<char> els(separator1,separator2,separator3);
    tokenizer<escaped_list_separator<char>> tok(s, els);

    for(tokenizer<escaped_list_separator<char>>::iterator beg=tok.begin(); beg!=tok.end();++beg)
    {
        cout << *beg << "\n";
    }
}
