what is the elegant/right way to insert some substr into the given str? For example:

iterator_range<range_iterator<std::string>::type> it1 = boost::find_first(str, mark); ... // -------------------------------------------------------

I want to insert substr ("$$$") after mark ("abc") if the mark exists in the str. That is, the result in the example above should be: "xyz_123_abc$$$_xyyz_a1b"

This is a non-boost answer, but I'd have written something like: std::string::size_type found = str.find(mark); if (found != std::string::npos) { str.insert(found + mark.length(), substr); }

Thank you in advance!

If you are using std::string, why could simply type if(it1) { str.insert(it1.end()-1, mark); } Regards, Pavol.
