Re: Not-equal string searching

Is the function below the simplest way to produce an
iterator to the next non-space in a string? (Or the
upper-bound iterator if none is found). Searching for a
sequence is overkill and inefficient IMO.

#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>

std::string::iterator find_not_space(std::string &s)
{
    char chSpace = ' ';
    return std::search(s.begin(), s.end(), &chSpace , &chSpace+1,
std::not_equal_to<char>());
}
