Detailed Description

Function Documentation

replace_all()

string & Rivet::replace_all ( string &  str, const string &  patt, const string &  repl  )

inline

Replace all instances of patt with repl.

Note

Finding is interleaved with replacement, so the second search happens after first replacement, etc. This could lead to infinite loops and other counterintuitive behaviours if not careful.

References Rivet::contains().

to_str()

template<typename T >

string Rivet::to_str ( const T &  x )

inline

Convert any object to a string.

Just a convenience wrapper for the more general Boost lexical_cast

Referenced by Rivet::join(), Rivet::join(), Rivet::FourMomentum::setPE(), Rivet::FourMomentum::setPM(), and Rivet::VetoedFinalState::vetoFinalState().

toString()

template<typename T >

string Rivet::toString ( const T &  x )

inline

Convert any object to a string.

An alias for to_str() with a more "Rivety" mixedCase name.
