wxString split function

Handy! I'll probably use this in the first iteration of my current project. (Second iteration will probably store data as XML)

[daddydave]

Code: Select all

retArray.Add(Slice(s, nOldPos, nPos)); //Insert the token in the array 

Where's the Slice function coming from? I don't see it in the wxWidgets docs

Figured it out. Added this to the top of your code

Code: Select all

#define Slice(str, start, end) (str.Mid(start, end))

Good catch.... it was a function from my sources

Code: Select all

  wxString Slice(const wxString& s, size_t from, size_t to) 
      { return s.Mid(from, (to - from) ); }
