I did? It is set -- arg1 arg2 arg3 ... which sets the $1 $2 $3 variables.

If you run it like set -- $variable it will split upon IFS, which is whatever you please, giving an easy way to split a string upon "." even in ancient shells which lack most modern string built-ins.

It works especially well in functions because otherwise you'd have to worry about overwriting the global $1 $2 etc, but inside a function you're only dealing with local ones, which will be gone soon anyway.

NAME
shevek::ristring - shevek::ristring is identical to shevek::istring, but it uses std::string instead of Glib::ustring. SYNOPSIS
#include <iostring.hh> Public Member Functions ristring () Create a new istring with no data. ristring (std::string const &str) Create a new istring with data. void init (std::string const &str) Set new data to an existing istring. void push () Push the current position to the stack so it can be restored later. int pop (bool keep=false) Pop the last pushed position from the stack. void reset () Set the current position to 0, but don't change the stack. std::string rest () const Get remaining string. void skip (std::string::size_type p) Skip some characters. bool operator() (std::string const &format) Read a constant string from the input. template<typename T1 > bool operator() (std::string const &format, T1 &arg1) Read a string containing one argument from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 > bool operator() (std::string const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2) Read a string containing two arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 > bool operator() (std::string const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3) Read a string containing three arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 > bool operator() (std::string const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4) Read a string containing four arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 , typename T5 > bool operator() (std::string const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4, T5 &arg5) Read a string containing five arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 , typename T5 , typename T6 > bool operator() (std::string const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4, T5 &arg5, T6 &arg6) Read a string containing six arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 , typename T5 , typename T6 , typename T7 > bool operator() (std::string const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4, T5 &arg5, T6 &arg6, T7 &arg7) Read a string containing seven arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 , typename T5 , typename T6 , typename T7 , typename T8 > bool operator() (std::string const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4, T5 &arg5, T6 &arg6, T7 &arg7, T8 &arg8) Read a string containing eight arguments from the input. Static Public Member Functions template<typename T > static T direct (std::string const &data, std::string const &format, T def=T()) Read a variable from given data and return it. Detailed Description shevek::ristring is identical to shevek::istring, but it uses std::string instead of Glib::ustring. Member Function Documentation template<typename T > static T shevek::ristring::direct (std::string const &data, std::string const &format, Tdef = T ()) [inline, static] Read a variable from given data and return it. This allows using a shevek::istring in an expression without the need to create a new variable for it. If the input doesn't match the format, def is returned. int shevek::ristring::pop (boolkeep = false) Pop the last pushed position from the stack. If keep is true or not given, the current position is restored to the last position. If it is false, the current position is not changed.
