Is there a std::string::split or something similar?
There are plenty of polyfill libraries that exist for std features like this. I strongly recommend using an existing one that attempts to match the standard closely. For example this one.

Use const char* or std::string for string literals?
I see that there is this https://github.com/martinmoene/string-view-lite. Might use it in our project going forward.

Why are strings and IO so complicated?
If you are used to python strings give pystring from Sony Imageworks a go. https://github.com/imageworks/pystring

For processing strings, streams in C++ can be slow
If performance matters, write your own specialized string processing code which works on "raw" data in memory buffers. If convenience matters look at https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt (or std::format which AFAIK is less feature rich) and https://github.com/imageworks/pystring.

Is this a valid use for goto?
Personally I use pystring for my projects as I use both C++ and python so the api is familiar.

Is there a std::string::split or something similar?
I've been using this for a number of years https://github.com/imageworks/pystring Works really well especially if you are used to python strings.

How can remove the space at the beginning and end of the tokens?
I use this https://github.com/imageworks/pystring for most of my string processing (as I write a lot of both C++ and Python), you can use the lstrip / rstrip and strip methods, you just need to drop in the .cpp and .h files to your projects. It makes life so much easier.

Help With File Reading
There are various libraries out there that make this much easier such as boost. Personally I use pystirng https://github.com/imageworks/pystring as I use loads of python too.
