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: 
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;
}

```
```
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    std::string s1 = "/home/desktop/test/";
    std::string s2 = "../folder1/folder2/../pic.pdf/";

    std::vector<std::string> v1;

    std::istringstream is1( s1 );

    std::string t;

    while ( std::getline( is1, t, '/' ) )
    {
        if ( t.empty() ) v1.push_back( "/" );
        else v1.push_back( t );
    }

    for ( const std::string &t : v1 ) std::cout << t << std::endl;

    std::cout << std::endl;

    std::vector<std::string> v2;

    std::istringstream is2( s2 );

    while ( std::getline( is2, t, '/' ) )
    {
        if ( t.empty() ) v2.push_back( "/" );
        else v2.push_back( t );
    }

    for ( const std::string &t : v2 ) std::cout << t << std::endl;
}

```
