@karna Also, c++ did not like the utf-8 characters xD I read about it some, and tried to work around it, but it was not having it xD

A step I skipped was doing the tokenization inside of c++, but I'm not quite sure how to do that. Examples I found of such things, focus on using a single character to split things. But, that isn't quite what I need.

I need to digest a string, and consume either the next character, or the next group of characters if they match an entry in a list.... a problem for another time?

Thank you again for the help :D
