find & Replace text using two non-unique delimiters.
I can find and replace text when the delimiters are unique. What I cannot do is replace text using two NON-unique delimiters:
Ex.,
I get this:
And I want this:
The issue is that the program keeps seeing the '>' which is tied in with the'<text >' tag and using it instead of using the '>' which is tied in with '<garbage'.
In my real-world scenario, these tags are much more complicated and will have a variety of text inbetween whilst being different sizes and having different endings; also, certain tags must be deleted first, second, and so on, so changing the order will not help this situation.
I want to make code that understands that the '>' delimiter, which I want to use as an end position for '<garbage' tag, can only be the one which comes closest AFTER the '<garbage' tag (and if it understands that, then it cannot make a mistake); but I do not know how to do this. I have it working perfectly in an awk program, but not in C++. And I will not use boost; I'd rather then just stick with awk in that case.
Here is my code:
I am not expecting an entire answer, but maybe if someone could lead me to a resource which has a fitting answer. I've been looking all around, and I cannot seem to find anything. Also, I am new to C++.
I understand that this is an incredibly complicated thing with no simple answer.
