equiv from python

[Dan Stromberg]

Does c++ have an equivalent to this from python:

>>> import string
>>> s='ab:cd:efg:ghi:'
>>> print string.splitfields(s,':')
['ab', 'cd', 'efg', 'ghi', '']

IE, can the standard c++ library take a string, split it up on a
particular separator character, and return the corresponding list of
strings?

I know I can write something to do this, but I'd rather learn how to
use the STL or similar, if applicable.
