c++ function making for a file reading through delimiter but in different style -

i want make parser , read line txt file file like:

indore|nj|201568|a| ujjain|ab|3458|b| 

is inbuilt function read 1 line @ time... catch values in correspoding variable, through format specifier.. separate values | delimiter.

parser(str,'|',"%s|%s|%s|%s",location,name,phno,tok); 

location,name,...etc variables.

i found function in matlab "strread", type of thing.

assuming stris stream, since variables appear strings, can simple use std::getline '|' delimiter.

std::getline(str, location, '|'); std::getline(str, name, '|'); std::getline(str, phno, '|'); std::getline(str, tok, '|'); 

you wrap variadic template function takes parameters want read into.

void readparams(std::istream& stream, char delim) { }  template<typename ... tail> void readparams(std::istream& stream, char delim, std::string& string, tail& ... t) {   std::getline(stream, string, delim);   readparams(stream, delim, t ...); } 

this function can called such:

readparams(str, '|', location, name, phno, tok); 

if restricted using compiler without variadic templates, can still add few overloads number of arguments want, , replace them true variadic template @ later stage.
