string parsing
 

Hi

how can I do this in C++

string myword;
string get_word_from_this_url( url ){
bool flag = true;
while flag;
download this url and search for this word;
if found; set flag to false;
retrun word;
}

I know c++ does not have load(url), do I need to go to perl or
some other language?

thanks

Standard C++ does not have any means of loading a URL. That does not
mean that your C++ implementation does not have one, it probably does.
But this group deals with standard C++ only, so you should ask this
question in a group for your compiler and/or operating system. Since
loading a URL is likely to be a feature of your operating system perhaps
you should try a group about programming C++ on your particular
operating system.

BTW perl would a good choice for string parsing, it's not one of C++'s
better features.

Not part of standard C++. You can use some library or OS specific API.
I recommend to use some library which is supported on many platforms.
For example libCURL (simpler) or ACE (harder to learn but great
library, but for small example you gave it is too strong tool).

try to do with libwww or curl , they are reusable library that what u
want to do i think,

--raxit

Basically, there is nothing in the standard preventing an fstream
implementation from taking URLs for remote file support. However, such
implementations are rare.
