How to count non-space characters in C++ and to split a string into multiple stings on the space. split a?

[BBrandon]

Does anyone know how to count the non-space characters in a C++ string? Also, does anyone know how to make a C++ function that will split my string into multiple strings based off of the space character and remove the space when splitting?
For example, I would want to split the string "My name is Boris" into...
"My"
"name"
"is"
"Boris" (note the removal of the space after the word)

One way would be to iterate through the string and test against std::isalnum().

Have you considered a stringstream and then extracting words using the extraction operator?

Like so
std::count_if(s.begin(), s.end(), [](char c) { return !std::isspace(c); });

Here's one option, although regex_token_iterator is serious overkill for this problem:

template <typename BidirIt, typename OutputIt>
void split(BidirIt begin, BidirIt end, OutputIt out, std::regex const& re)
{
  std::copy(std::regex_token_iterator(begin, end, re, -1), {}, out);       
}

Call with a std::regex constructed from the string R"(\s+)"
