replace()

template<typename T >

std::string syten::replace	(	std::string const &	input,
		std::string const &	start_delim,
		std::string const &	end_delim,
		T	func
	)

Replaces occurences of delimited substrings by function return values.

Given a string input and two delimiter strings start_delim and end_delim, searches for all pairwise occurences of the delimiters, extracts the characters between them and calls the function func with those characters as argument, then replaces the delimiters plus internal content by the return value of the function.

Potentially expensive, only use for small strings or if function evaluations dominate.

Parameters

input	input string
start_delim	delimiter denoting the start of a replacee string
end_delim	delimiter denoting the end of a replacee string
func	function to call to get the replacer

Returns

a new string

Example\n replace("a {b} c {d e} f} {g", "{", "}", toupper),

with toupper a function taking a std::string and returning an all-uppercase version thereof results in a B c D E f} {g and a warning being thrown about a runaway argument.
