I wasn't posting a new topic it was a reply to the above problem. he had a word in this case the name of a variable and he wanted to replace all instances of it in his string even though he set the value before he set the value of the the replacement string. I said that he should try regular expressions and cout the result. I'm sorry if I was somehow unclear.
Ok, I want a C++ equivalent of the following C code:
Code:#include <stdio.h> int main() { char * location; char * my_string = "The rain in %s is falling on the plain"; location = "Spain"; printf (my_string, location); // The rain in Spain is falling on the plain return 0; }
That should answer all of my questions.
Thank you!

Code:#include <cstdio> using namespace std; int main() { char * location; char * my_string = "The rain in %s is falling on the plain"; location = "Spain"; printf (my_string, location); // The rain in Spain is falling on the plain return 0; }
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
another one
Code:#include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { string location; string my_string = "The rain in %s is falling on the plain"; location = "Spain"; int p = my_string.find("%s"); my_string.replace ( p, 2, location ); cout << my_string << endl; return 0; }
treenef's code in the fourth post in this thread is functionally equivalent. I will assume that the difference is that you want to have my_string initialized first, followed by location later. The best way to do that depends on why you want to do that. In this simple example, there is no reason to do that, which is why treenef's code should be sufficient.
However, here are two C++ examples that assign the location after the my_string is initialized.Code:#include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { string location; string my_string1 = "The rain in "; string my_string2 = " is falling on the plain"; location = "Spain"; cout<<my_string1 + location + my_string2; return 0; }There are other options as well.Code:#include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { string location; string my_string = "The rain in is falling on the plain"; int insertLoc = 12; location = "Spain"; my_string.insert(insertLoc, location); cout<<my_string; return 0; }
http://www.boost.org/libs/format/doc/format.htmlCode:#include <boost/format.hpp> int main() { boost::format fmt("The rain in %s is falling on the plain."); std::string location = "Spain"; std::cout << fmt % location; }
All the buzzt!
