This modifies the original, so if you need to keep it, you can use boost::replace_copy_if:
#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
#include <boost/range/algorithm/replace_copy_if.hpp>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator> // for back_inserter
std::string someString = "abc.def-ghi";
std::string toReplace = ".-";
int main()
{
std::string processedString;
boost::replace_copy_if(someString,
std::back_inserter(processedString), boost::is_any_of(toReplace), ' ');
std::cout << processedString;
}
replace_all_regex_copy
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/string/regex.hpp>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
std::string someString = "abc.def-ghi";
std::cout << someString << std::endl;
std::string toReplace = "[.-]"; // character class that matches . and -
std::string replacement = " ";
std::string processedString =
boost::replace_all_regex_copy(someString, boost::regex(toReplace), replacement);
std::cout << processedString << std::endl;
return 0;
