## Function find_format_copy

boost::algorithm::find_format_copy — Generic replace algorithm.

## Synopsis

    template<typename OutputIteratorT, typename RangeT, typename FinderT,
             typename FormatterT>
      OutputIteratorT
      find_format_copy(OutputIteratorT Output, const RangeT & Input,
                       FinderT Finder, FormatterT Formatter);
    template<typename SequenceT, typename FinderT, typename FormatterT>
      SequenceT find_format_copy(const SequenceT & Input, FinderT Finder,
                                 FormatterT Formatter);

## Description

Use the Finder to search for a substring. Use the Formatter to format this substring and replace it in the input. The result is a modified copy of the input. It is returned as a sequence or copied to the output iterator.

Parameters

Finder

  A Finder object used to search for a match to be replaced

Formatter

  A Formatter object used to format a match

Input

  An input sequence

Output

  An output iterator to which the result will be copied

Returns: An output iterator pointing just after the last inserted character or a modified copy of the input
Notes: The second variant of this function provides the strong exception-safety guarantee
