This function is similar to strtok in C. Input sequence is split into tokens, separated by separators. Separators are given by means of the predicate.
Syntax: 

Template:
split(Result, Input, Predicate Pred);

Parameters:
Input: A container which will be searched.
Pred: A predicate to identify separators. 
This predicate is supposed to return true 
if a given element is a separator.
Result: A container that can hold copies of 
references to the substrings.

Returns: A reference the result
 Time Complexity: O(n)
 Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Application : It is used to split a string into substrings which are separated by separators. 
Example: 

Input : boost::split(result, input, boost::is_any_of("\t"))
       input = "geeks\tfor\tgeeks"
Output : geeks
        for
        geeks
Explanation: Here in input string we have "geeks\tfor\tgeeks"
and result is a container in which we want to store our result
here separator is "\t".
 

CPP




// C++ program to split
// string into substrings
// which are separated by
// separator using boost::split
 
// this header file contains boost::split function
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    string input("geeks\tfor\tgeeks");
    vector<string> result;
    boost::split(result, input, boost::is_any_of("\t"));
 
    for (int i = 0; i < result.size(); i++)
        cout << result[i] << endl;
    return 0;
}


Output: 

geeks
for
geeks
