Preliminary note: string_algo works just fine with std::wstring and of course I can (and do) convert the CString object(s) to std::wstring first if and when I need an algorithm from string_algo. It would be really nice though if I could just drop in the CString objects -- integration with existing code would be much easier!
What I want to do:
CString in = ...;
const CString out = boost::replace_last_copy(in, L"SEARCH", L"REPLACE");
As suggested here I tried to additionally include boost/range/mfc.hpp to have Boost.Range adapted to MFC. (Although I don't quite get this header as looking at it it seems it doesn't do anything for CString, only for the collection classes.)
Boost 1.44.0 with Visual Studio 2005
Test code looks like this:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/range/mfc.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
void f(CString const& input) {
CString out = boost::replace_last_copy(input, L"FROM", L"TO");
std::wcout << out << "\n";
}
The error I get looks like this:
