trouble with delimiter

Hi all,

I have a flat file storing data like this,
Code:
Testing,[1,2,3]

What I'm trying to do is to retrieve the data "1", "2" and "3".
So far I manage retrieve the data by using the code below,
Code:
while (getline(file, line))
            {

                if (line.find("Testing")!=string::npos)
                {         
                    start = line.find("[");
                    end = line.find("]", start+1);
                    string result = line.substr(start + 1, end - start - 1);

With the code above, I only manage to retrieve "1,2,3".
However, instead of a string "1,2,3", I want to retrieve it as individual int so as to store the individual value into an array (set).
E.g. "1","2" and "3" as int value.

Can anyone kindly provide some suggestions?
Thanks!

Based on my research, most of them actually suggested to convert it to "stringstream" and make use of getline("stringstream", "string", "delimiter").

This is what I've done so far.

Code:
else if (file.good())
                {
                    int record = 0;
                    string line;
                    string line2;
                    set<string> setTesting;
                    set<string>::iterator test = setTesting.begin();

                    while (getline(file, line)) 
                    {
                        
                        if (line.find("test")!=string::npos)
                        {
                            start = line.find("[");
                            end = line.find("]", start+1);
                            string result = line.substr(start + 1, end - start - 1);
                            stringstream ss(result);
                            while(getline(ss,line2,','))
                            {
                                setPoint2D.insert(p2d,line2);
                            }
                                while(test!=setTest.end())
                                {
                                    cout << *test << endl;
                                    test++;
                                }

                        }

I've created my SET Container with ADT <Point2D>; Point2D is a class with 2 variables - int x and int y. My ultimate goal is to store the individual int into my <Point2D> SET Container.

The code above is able to compile, however when I execute it, there isn't any display of codes.

My flat file contains data in this format-
Code:
test, [1, 2]
test, [1, 2]
test2, [1,2,3]
test3, [1,2,3]

Can you advise me where went wrong?
Thanks for your help!
