Question: I wrote a simple code to split the string from each '/' and store into vector.
My string may start with / or not and definetelly will end with /. For example if my string is:

```
string="/home/desktop/test/" 
I want to <"/","home","desktop","test"> and another example

string="../folder1/folder2/../pic.pdf/" 
I want to store <"..","folder1","folder2","..","pic.pdf"

```

However, my code gives me `<" ","home","desktop","test"," ">` for the first example and 
`<"..","folder1","folder2","..","pic.pdf"," ">` for the second example

Is there anyone to help me ? 
Here is my code for this : 

```
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string strLine("/cd/desktop/../test/");
    string strTempString;
    vector<int> splitIndices;
    vector<string> splitLine;
    int nCharIndex = 0;
    int nLineSize = strLine.size();

    // find indices
    for(int i = 0; i < nLineSize; i++)
    {
        if(strLine[i] == '/')
            splitIndices.push_back(i);
    }
    splitIndices.push_back(nLineSize); // end index

    // fill split lines
    for(int i = 0; i < (int)splitIndices.size(); i++)
    {
        strTempString = strLine.substr(nCharIndex, (splitIndices[i] - nCharIndex));
        splitLine.push_back(strTempString);
        cout << strTempString << endl;
        nCharIndex = splitIndices[i] + 1;
    }

}

```

Answer: 
The C++ String Toolkit Library (Strtk) has the following solution to your problem:

<http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/23198/C-String-Toolkit-StrTk-Tokenizer>
Following change may help:

```
if (!strLine.empty() && strLine.back() != '/') {
    splitIndices.push_back(nLineSize); // end index
}
// fill split lines
for(int i = 0; i < (int)splitIndices.size(); i++)
{
    if (splitIndices[i] == 0) {
        splitLine.push_back("/");
    } else {
        strTempString = strLine.substr(nCharIndex, (splitIndices[i] - nCharIndex));
        splitLine.push_back(strTempString);
    }
    nCharIndex = splitIndices[i] + 1;
}

```
