How to find and replace all occurrences of a substring in a string?

Question

I need to search a string and edit the formatting of it.

So far I can replace the first occurrence of the string, but I am unable to do so with the next occurrences

Use std::regex_replace available with C++11. This does exactly what you want and more.

std::string const result = std::regex_replace( chartDataString, std::regex( "\\*A" ), "[A]\n" );
