Class ctype
encapsulates character classification features. All stream input operations performed through std::basic_istream<CharT> use the std::ctype<CharT>
of the locale imbued in the stream to identify whitespace characters for input tokenization. Stream output operations apply std::ctype<CharT>::widen()
to narrow-character arguments prior to output.

The standard library is guaranteed to provide the following specializations (they are required to be implemented by any locale object):
Defined in header <locale> |
|
---|---|
std::ctype<char> | provides narrow character equivalents of the minimal "C" locale classification. This specialization uses table lookup for character classification |
std::ctype<wchar_t> | provides wide character classification appropriate to the native character set |

The following example demonstrates modification of a ctype
other than ctype<char>
to tokenize a CSV file:
#include <iostream> #include <locale> #include <sstream> struct csv_whitespace : std::ctype<wchar_t> { bool do_is(mask m, char_type c) const { if ((m & space) && c == L' ') return false; // space will NOT be classified as whitespace if ((m & space) && c == L',') return true; // comma will be classified as whitespace return ctype::do_is(m, c); // leave the rest to the base class } }; int main() { std::wstring in = L"Column 1,Column 2,Column 3\n123,456,789"; std::wstring token; std::wcout << "default locale:\n"; std::wistringstream s1(in); while (s1 >> token) std::wcout << " " << token << '\n'; std::wcout << "locale with modified ctype:\n"; std::wistringstream s2(in); csv_whitespace* my_ws = new csv_whitespace; s2.imbue(std::locale(s2.getloc(), my_ws)); while (s2 >> token) std::wcout << " " << token << '\n'; }
Output:
default locale: Column 1,Column 2,Column 3 123,456,789 locale with modified ctype: Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 123 456 789
