NAME¶

std::experimental::erase(std::basic_string) - std::experimental::erase(std::basic_string)

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <experimental/string>
template< class CharT, class Traits, class A, class U
> (library fundamentals TS v2)
void erase( std::basic_string<CharT, Traits, A>& c,
const U& value );

Erases all elements that compare equal to value from the container. Equivalent to
c.erase(std::remove(c.begin(), c.end(), value), c.end());.

Parameters¶

c - container from which to erase
value - value to be removed

Complexity¶

Linear.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <experimental/string>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::string data{"$$P$A$S$S$$W$O$R$$D$"};
std::cout << data << '\n';
auto crack{'$'};
std::experimental::erase(data, crack);
std::cout << data << '\n';
}

Output:¶

$$P$A$S$S$$W$O$R$$D$
PASSWORD
