boost::algorithm::replace_first_copy — Replace first algorithm.

Synopsis

template<typename OutputIteratorT, typename Collection1T, 
         typename Collection2T, typename Collection3T> 
  OutputIteratorT 
  replace_first_copy(OutputIteratorT Output, const Collection1T & Input, 
                     const Collection2T & Search, 
                     const Collection3T & Format);
template<typename SequenceT, typename Collection1T, typename Collection2T> 
  SequenceT replace_first_copy(const SequenceT & Input, 
                               const Collection1T & Search, 
                               const Collection2T & Format);

Description

Parameters

Format

A substitute string

Input

An input string
