        @c strtok() (::wxTOKEN_STRTOK) if the delimiters string only contains
        white space characters but, unlike the standard function, it will
        behave like ::wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY, returning empty tokens if this is not
        the case. This is helpful for parsing strictly formatted data where
        the number of fields is fixed but some of them may be empty (i.e.
        @c TAB or comma delimited text files).

        In this mode, the delimiter character after the end of the current token (there
        may be none if this is the last token) is returned appended to the token.

        mode like this one but behaving like ::wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY_ALL instead of
        ::wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY, use ::wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY_ALL and

/**
    @class wxStringTokenizer

    wxStringTokenizer helps you to break a string up into a number of tokens.
    It replaces the standard C function @c strtok() and also extends it in a
    number of ways.

    To use this class, you should create a wxStringTokenizer object, give it the
    string to tokenize and also the delimiters which separate tokens in the string
    (by default, white space characters will be used).

    Then wxStringTokenizer::GetNextToken() may be called repeatedly until 
    wxStringTokenizer::HasMoreTokens() returns @false.

    For example:

    @code
    wxStringTokenizer tokenizer("first:second:third:fourth", ":");
    while ( tokenizer.HasMoreTokens() )
    {
        wxString token = tokenizer.GetNextToken();

        // process token here
    }
    @endcode

    @library{wxbase}
    @category{data}
