string replace function

[Guest]

Can anyone point me to a string function that will search a string for
the following 4 characters & > < " and replace them with &amp, &lt,
&gt, &quot.

That is a search and replace function.

Thanks if you can help.

Enda

The 'find...' family of member functions of the std::string class will
do the job for you: you can easily put these together to do what you want.
A good reference for them (and in fact for the whole of C++) is here:

Good luck!
