It's not std::string that replaces does the work. It is the >> operator of
istream that does the trick.

One question about joe's example how does m_recBuff get populated?

Hi Norbert,

I haven't used std::string much. Can you explain how this does the same
thing as the sscanf or what Joe posted. I'm sure there is some good juju
in there somewhere, but I don't see it.

Thanks,

Tom

The correct usage would be

CString strUserName;
CString strPassword;
m_recBuff.Trim(); // remove leading and trailing space
int n = m_recvBuff.Find(_T(" "));
if(n < 0)
   { /* no space */
    strUserName = m_recvBuff;
  } /* no space */
else
   { /* has space */
    strUserName = m_recvBuff.Left(n);
    strPassword = m_recvBuff.Mid(n + 1);
    strPassword.Trim();
   } /* has space */

This looks quite complex.

How about something like this:

#include <istream>
std::istringstream in(recvBuff);
std::string username, password;
in >> username >> password;
