How do I Search/Find and Replace in a standard string?

#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp> // include Boost, a C++ library
...
std::string target("Would you like a foo of chocolate. Two foos of chocolate?");
boost::replace_all(target, "foo", "bar");

Here is the official documentation on replace_all.

Why not implement your own replace?

void myReplace(std::string& str,
               const std::string& oldStr,
               const std::string& newStr)
{
  std::string::size_type pos = 0u;
  while((pos = str.find(oldStr, pos)) != std::string::npos){
     str.replace(pos, oldStr.length(), newStr);
     pos += newStr.length();
  }
}

In C++11, you can do this as a one-liner with a call to regex_replace:

#include <string>
#include <regex>

using std::string;

string do_replace( string const & in, string const & from, string const & to )
{
  return std::regex_replace( in, std::regex(from), to );
}

string test = "Remove all spaces";
std::cout << do_replace(test, " ", "") << std::endl;

output:

Removeallspaces
