Hello all,
I'm reading an html file and parsing data from it. I've encountered a spurious string (researcher’s). Notepad++ shows that string as researcher's .
I'm reading the file using std::fstream class. Is there any way i can read the string and get the spurious characters replaced using boost string/regex algorithms ?
It is not spurious, it is probably a UTF-8 file or something. Can you attach it, if so then we can confirm that. But yes, you can do such a replacement with Boost.Regex, although I would recommend doing it with Boost.Xpressive instead (it even has an example doing such a replace in the docs, and if you use the static version it will run faster).
