    @ingroup String
    @brief A helper class to split a string into several tokens.

    @anchor SubStringExample

    The class SubString can be used to split an std::string into multiple tokens, using
    a delimiter. SubString allows different options, for example to remove whitespaces
    around the delimiters or different safe-mode chars, like quotation marks and braces.

    You can access the tokens of the SubString using the [] operator like an array.
    SubString also supports to join the tokens (or a subset of the tokens) again using
    @ref orxonox::SubString::join() "join()". It's even possible to get a subset of the
    SubString as another SubString using @ref orxonox::SubString::subSet() "subSet()".

    Example:
    @code
    std::string text = "This is a test, \"Hello \\\" World\" and vector {1, 2, 3}";
    SubString tokens(text, SubString::WhiteSpaces, "", false, '\\', true, '"', true, '{', '}', true, '\0');

    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < tokens.size(); ++i)
        COUT(0) << i << ": " << tokens[i] << std::endl;
    @endcode

    The output of this code is:
     - 0: This
     - 1: is
     - 2: a
     - 3: test,
     - 4: Hello " World
     - 5: and
     - 6: vector
     - 7: 1, 2, 3

    The string was split using the delimiter " ". A string between quotation mark is not
    split, the same holds for strings between '{' and '}'. Note how the quotation marks and
    the braces were removed from the tokens, because the corresponding argument is 'true'.

    Also note that the comma after "test" in token 3 is still there - it is neither part of the
    delimiters SubString::WhiteSpaces nor part of the delimiterNeighbours parameter, so it
    remains a part of the token.
