It is possible with a regex iterator

  #include <iostream>
  #include <regex>
  #include <string>

  int main()
  {
   std::string s = "Python*C++*Java";
  std::regex regex("\\*");

  std::vector<std::string> out(std::sregex_token_iterator(s.begin(), s.end(), regex, -1), std::sregex_token_iterator());

  for (auto &s: out) {
    std::cout << s << '\n';
   }

  return 0;
  }
