 * @file substring.h
 * @brief a small class to get the parts of a string separated by commas
 *
 * This class is also identified as a Tokenizer. It splits up one long
 * String into multiple small ones by a designated Delimiter.
 *
 * Substring is Advanced, and it is possible, to split a string by ','
 * but also removing leading and trailing spaces around the comma.
 *
 * @example
 * Split the String std::string st = "1345, The new empire   , is , orxonox"
 * is splitted with:
 * SubString(st, ',', " \n\t")
 * into
 * "1345", "The new empire", "is", "orxonox"
 * As you can see, the useless spaces around ',' were removed.
