  67
  68     wxStringTokenizer helps you to break a string up into a number of tokens.
  69     It replaces the standard C function @c strtok() and also extends it in a
  70     number of ways.
  71
  72     To use this class, you should create a wxStringTokenizer object, give it the
  73     string to tokenize and also the delimiters which separate tokens in the string
  74     (by default, white space characters will be used).
  75
  76     Then wxStringTokenizer::GetNextToken() may be called repeatedly until
  77     wxStringTokenizer::HasMoreTokens() returns @false.
  78
  79     For example:
  80
  81     @code
  82     wxStringTokenizer tokenizer("first:second:third:fourth", ":");
  83     while ( tokenizer.HasMoreTokens() )
  84     {
  85         wxString token = tokenizer.GetNextToken();
  86
  87         // process token here
  88     }
  89     @endcode
