Replacing instances of a given std::string with another std::string in C++

I have been looking online without success for something that does the following. I have some ugly string returned as part of a Betfair SOAP response that uses a number of different char delimiters to identify certain parts of the information. What makes it awkward is that they are not always just one character length. Specifically, I need to split a string at `':'` characters, but only after I have first replaced all instances of `"\\:"` with my personal flag `"-COLON-"` (which must then be replaced again AFTER the first split). Basically I need all portions of a string like this ``` "6(2.5%,11\:08)~true~5.0~1162835723938~" ``` to become ``` "6(2.5%,11-COLON-08)~true~5.0~1162835723938~ ``` In perl it is (from memory) ``` $mystring =~ s/\\:/-COLON-/g; ``` I have been looking for some time at the functions of `std::string`, specifically `std::find` and `std::replace` and I know that I can code up how to do what I need using these basic functions, but I was wondering if there was a function in the standard library (or elsewhere) that already does this??
