Custom inserter for std::copy

Viewed 7377

Given a std::vector which holds objects of MyClass. How can I create another vector which holds just data of one member of MyClass using std::copy? I guess I would have to implement a custom back_inserter but I could not figure out how to do this so far.

struct MyClass {
   int a;
}

std::vector<MyClass> vec1;

// I could copy that to another vector of type MyClass using std::copy.
std::copy(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(); std::back_inserter(someOtherVec)

// However I want just the data of the member a, how can I do that using std::copy?
std::vector<int> vec2;
