Good C++ string manipulation library

Question

I\'m sorry for flaming std::string and std::wstring. They are quite limited and far from being thread safe. Performance wise, they are not that good too. I miss simple features

Answer 1

For conversion, you can always break down and use the C library cstdlib.

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
   std::string num;

   std::cin >> num;

   someFunc(atoi(num));
   someOtherFunc(atof(num));
   return 0;
}

atoi = ascii to integer atof = ascii to float

As for find, use the STL function "find" defined under header algorithm, or find_first_of (or similar). I also believe you can initialize a vector of char's with an std::string, but that is conjecture.
