// function to determine if a token
vector is_token(const string& s) {
}
int main() {
// make this into a loop such that, like a terminal, input is
accepted until the user hits CTRL+d
string str;
cout<<">";
getline(cin, str);
//vector to store the strings or characters returned by
is_token() function
vector tokens;
tokens = is_token(str);
}
Modify the main() function to loop until the user exits (e.g. by pressing CTRL+d).
Write a function named is_token() that accepts a string of user
input and determines what is a token (see below for token
determination rules).
The function must return the separated tokens.
Determining if something is a token:
1. Whitespace (space, tab, etc) ends a token and is skipped
unless it is in quotes (see below). You will find the function int
isspace(char) useful for detecting whitespace characters.
2. Some characters are considered special tokens: | ; < >
&. When one of these characters is encountered, the token being
built is completed and a new token consisting of the character is
created.
3. The character \ is a special character, i.e. an escape
character. The next character will be part (or the start) of a
token.
4. Items between single or double quotes are treated as parts of
the current token.
5. Characters that do not meet the above rules are added on to the
current token being built.
Some examples to test your output:
Input: > we\'ll do some "crazy \"air quotes\""
Output (tokens separated by commas): we'll, do, some, crazy "air
quotes"
Input: > ls | sort >sorted_files.txt
Output (tokens separated by commas): ls, |, sort, >,
sorted_files.txt
Input: > "now\;is"
Output: now;is
