How to split a string correctly

[Lena]

Hi.
In my program I have a strings:

Code: Select all

http://cbuilder.ru/index.php/1/1
http://cbuilder.ru/index.php/1/2
http://cbuilder.ru/index.php/3/1
http://cbuilder.ru/index.php/3/10
http://cbuilder.ru/index.php/3/101
http://cbuilder.ru/index.php/42/8
***


How to correct and easy to read the latest numbers, separated by slashes in these strings and get the following strings:
11
12
31
310
3101
428
***
?

You can use SplitString and assign the return array to a TStringList.
Each item inside the string list is a sub string ended by the seperator.
The last 2 items in the list is what you want.

Thank you!
I also want to try a different way to. How can I break this string with the TRegEx?

As I saw it can be done the same way.
There is a function in TRegEx:
static System::DynamicArray<System::UnicodeString> __fastcall Split(const System::UnicodeString Input, const System::UnicodeString Pattern)/* overload */;
Also you can assign the pattern and the options upon creating the object and in this case you don't need the Patern parameter.
As I saw both TRegEx and SplitString are giving the same result. Why bother creating and destroying a TRegEx when there is something you can use without adding anything?

In our group it was declared competiton.
According to the contest it is necessary to find the most reliable and valid code.
My version is now turned as follows:

Code: Select all

void __fastcall TForm1::Button2Click(TObject *Sender)
{
 String Link = L"http://welcome.um.la/index.php/2/1";
 String URLLink = Link + L".png"; //full link for test, need: 21.png
 TStringDynArray arr(SplitString(URLLink, "/"));
 int j = arr.Length - 1;
 if(j != 0)
   {
   String Result = Trim(arr[j - 1] + arr[j]);
   ShowMessage(Result); //<- 21.png
   }
 }


Can prompt gurus the best variant?

What would you think of this:

String ConvertLink2Number(String string)
{
std::auto_ptr<TStringList>stringlist( new TStringList());
stringlist->Delimiter = '/';
stringlist->DelimitedText = string;
if (stringlist->Count > 1)
return(stringlist->Strings[stringlist->Count - 2] + stringlist->Strings[stringlist->Count - 1]);
}

Thank you!

[pidgi2009]

Sorry. More solid and foolproof is:

String ConvertLink2Number(String string)
{
std::auto_ptr<TStringList>stringlist( new TStringList());
if (stringlist.get()
{
stringlist->Delimiter = '/';
stringlist->DelimitedText = string;
if (stringlist->Count > 1)
return(stringlist->Strings[stringlist->Count - 2] + stringlist->Strings[stringlist->Count - 1]);
}
return "";
}
