What about predicate classes for equals, starts_with etc so you can use them with standard algorithms without specifying all template arguments.
Something like:
struct istarts_with_pred { template<typename T1, typename T2> bool operator()(const T1& arg1, const T2& arg2) const { return boost::istarts_with(arg1, arg2); } };
std::find_if(vectorofstrings.begin(), vectorofstrings.end(), bind<bool> (istarts_with_pred(), _1, "prefix"))
I'm aware, that this is precisely what needs to be done. However I'm not yet 100% convinced if if should go to string_algo lib. Yet, I'm starting to think in favor of it.
Also, will 1.32 be the last version where string_algo works with VC70?
Vc70 support was temporary dropped because I have switched from internal "Range" version to the official one. But there is already a work in progress to make Boost.Range working with vc70. So vc70 will be supported in the upcomming release. Regards, Pavol
