MSVC15 Linking error LNK2019

Question

Yes, I have read the documentation about the LNK2019 error, however I can't figure out what is actually causing the problem since the error message is quite random to me.

The application is quite large, so can anyone perhaps conclude something out of just the error message alone?

The error:

Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "class std::vector<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,class std::allocator<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > > > __cdecl explode(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &)" (?explode@@YA?AV?$vector@V?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@V?$allocator@V?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@@2@@std@@AEBV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@2@0@Z) referenced in function "class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __cdecl GetWords(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > &)" (?GetWords@@YA?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@AEAV12@@Z)

(Yes I have already set the Runtime-Library)

It looks like the function you are trying to use it not defined in any of the files you are compiling. — NathanOliver, Aug 10 '17 at 19:19
@GraysonPike I would actually love to however it tells me the error occurs on line 1 which leads to `#include "stdafx.h"` — TVA van Hesteren, Aug 10 '17 at 19:19
It looks like you have not linked in the explode() function, whatever that might be - it's not part of Standard C++. — , Aug 10 '17 at 19:20
@NeilButterworth, please add it as an answer... unbelievable you can understand such error messages. Thanks a lot! — TVA van Hesteren, Aug 10 '17 at 19:21
My difficulty with the error was with the format of the error message. The linker tells you exactly what is wrong. Although it is pretty verbose.. — drescherjm, Aug 10 '17 at 19:22
@NathanOliver, indeed thanks a lot. It was my `explode` function like Neil stated — TVA van Hesteren, Aug 10 '17 at 19:24
