How to find and replace string?

Question

If s is a std::string, then is there a function like the following?

s.replace(\"text to replace\", \"new text\");

Answer 1

Not exactly that, but std::string has many replace overloaded functions.

Go through this link to see explanation of each, with examples as to how they're used.

Also, there are several versions of string::find functions (listed below) which you can use in conjunction with string::replace.

• find
• rfind
• find_first_of
• find_last_of
• find_first_not_of
• find_last_not_of

Also, note that there are several versions of replace functions available from which you can also use (instead of string::replace):

• replace
• replace_if
• replace_copy
• replace_copy_if
