Replace part of a string with another string

This could be even better to use

void replace(string& input, const string& from, const string& to)
{
    auto pos = 0;
    while(true)
    {
        size_t startPosition = input.find(from, pos);
        if(startPosition == string::npos)
            return;
        input.replace(startPosition, from.length(), to);
        pos += to.length();
    }
}

What about the boost solution:

boost::replace_all(value, "token1", "token2");

My own implementation, taking into account that string needs to be resized only once, then replace can happen.

template <typename T>
std::basic_string<T> replaceAll(const std::basic_string<T>& s, const T* from, const T* to)
{
    auto length = std::char_traits<T>::length;
    size_t toLen = length(to), fromLen = length(from), delta = toLen - fromLen;
    bool pass = false;
    std::string ns = s;

    size_t newLen = ns.length();

    for (bool estimate : { true, false })
    {
        size_t pos = 0;

        for (; (pos = ns.find(from, pos)) != std::string::npos; pos++)
        {
            if (estimate)
            {
                newLen += delta;
                pos += fromLen;
            }
            else
            {
                ns.replace(pos, fromLen, to);
                pos += delta;
            }
        }

        if (estimate)
            ns.resize(newLen);
    }

    return ns;
}

Usage could be for example like this:

std::string dirSuite = replaceAll(replaceAll(relPath.parent_path().u8string(), "\\", "/"), ":", "");

You can use this code for remove subtring and also replace , and also remove extra white space . code :

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std ;
void removeSpaces(string &str)
{
   
    int n = str.length();

    int i = 0, j = -1;

    bool spaceFound = false;

    while (++j <= n && str[j] == ' ');

    while (j <= n)
    {
        if (str[j] != ' ')
        {
          
            if ((str[j] == '.' || str[j] == ',' ||
                 str[j] == '?') && i - 1 >= 0 &&
                 str[i - 1] == ' ')
                str[i - 1] = str[j++];

            else
                
                str[i++] = str[j++];

            
            spaceFound = false;
        }
        else if (str[j++] == ' ')
        {
            
            if (!spaceFound)
            {
                str[i++] = ' ';
                spaceFound = true;
            }
        }
    }

    if (i <= 1)
        str.erase(str.begin() + i, str.end());
    else
        str.erase(str.begin() + i - 1, str.end());
}
int main()
{
    string s;
    cin>>s;
    for(int i=s.find("WUB");i>=0;i=s.find("WUB"))
    {
        s.replace(i,3," ");
    }
    removeSpaces(s);
    cout<<s<<endl;

    return 0;
}
