string templine ;
string line;
ifstream myfile ("test");


while (getline (myfile,templine) )
line.append(templine);

char str [] = line ;
char delims[] = " as";
char *result = NULL;
result = strtok( str, delims );
while( result != NULL ) {
printf( result );
result = strtok( NULL, delims );
}

char str [] = line ;

This line makes no sense, char arrays are not strings, so you can't do this. I suggest you change your code to use only std::strings and not bother with char arrays.
