how to search a list

how do you perform a simple search on a list?

is this the correct code?

list<string> master;
string target1;

where = seek<string> (master.begin(), master.end(), target1);

it gives me an error saying that i don't have WHERE defined. but i thought by assigning it, it took care of that.

you always need to define a variable before assigning it or otherwise using it

what would i assign it as then? an iterator?

Code:

---

list<string> lst;
string str_to_find("AStringToFind");

// Initialize the list with some items here


// Find whatever you are looking for here
list<string>::iterator iter = find( lst.begin(), lst.end(), str_to_find);

// do whatever operation you wanted to do
if ( iter == lst.end() ) {
    cout<<"Not found"<<endl;
}
else {
    // whatever you want to do: I remove the element
    lst.erase(iter);
}

the code makes sense to me and thank you for that.

but it keeps saying that FIND is an undefined variable?

i thought find was a reserved word?? can anyone help?

i tried SEARCH as well...and same thing.

is there something aside from the code that you gave me that i need. i have included list and cstdlib.

??

I´m not sure but try

Code:

---

#include <algorithm>
