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

void replace(char *str, char *strFnd, char *strRep)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < strlen(str); i++)
    {
        int npos = -1, j, k;
        if (str[i] == strFnd[0])
        {
            for (j = 1, k = i+1; j < strlen(strFnd); j++)
                if (str[k++] != strFnd[j])
                    break;
            npos = i;
        }
        if (npos != -1)
            for (j = 0, k = npos; j < strlen(strRep); j++)
                str[k++] = strRep[j];
    }

}

int main()
{
    char pst1[] = "There is a wrong message";
    char pfnd[] = "wrong";
    char prep[] = "right";

    cout << "\nintial:" << pst1;

    replace(pst1, pfnd, prep);

    cout << "\nfinal : " << pst1;
    return 0;
}
