Inserts characters into the string.

1) Inserts count copies of character ch at the position index.
2) Inserts null-terminated character string pointed to by s at the position index. The length of the string is determined by the first null character using Traits::length(s).
3) Inserts the characters in the range [s, s + count) at the position index. The range can contain null characters.
4) Inserts string str at the position index.
5) Inserts a string, obtained by str.substr(s_index, count) at the position index.
6) Inserts character ch before the character pointed by pos.
7) Inserts count copies of character ch before the element (if any) pointed by pos.
8) Inserts characters from the range [first, last) before the element (if any) pointed by pos, as if by insert(pos - begin(), basic_string(first, last, get_allocator())).

This overload does not participate in overload resolution if InputIt does not satisfy LegacyInputIterator.

(since C++11)
9) Inserts elements from initializer list ilist before the element (if any) pointed by pos.
10) Implicitly converts t to a string view sv as if by std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits> sv = t;, then inserts the elements from sv before the element (if any) pointed by index, as if by insert(index, sv.data(), sv.size()).
This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_convertible_v<const StringViewLike&,
                      std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits>> is true and std::is_convertible_v<const StringViewLike&, const CharT*> is false.
11) Implicitly converts t to a string view sv as if by std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits> sv = t;, then inserts, before the element (if any) pointed by index, the characters from the subview [t_index, t_index + count) of sv.
  • If the requested subview lasts past the end of sv, or if count == npos, the resulting subview is [t_index, sv.size()).
  • If t_index > sv.size(), or if index > size(), std::out_of_range is thrown.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_convertible_v<const StringViewLike&,
                      std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits>> is true and std::is_convertible_v<const StringViewLike&, const CharT*> is false.

If pos is not a valid iterator on *this, the behavior is undefined.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

index - position at which the content will be inserted
pos - iterator before which the characters will be inserted
ch - character to insert
count - number of characters to insert
s - pointer to the character string to insert
str - string to insert
first, last - range defining characters to insert
s_index - position of the first character in str to insert
ilist - std::initializer_list to insert the characters from
t - object (convertible to std::basic_string_view) to insert the characters from
t_index - position of the first character in t to insert
Type requirements
-
InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator.

[edit] Return value

1-5) *this
6-9) An iterator which refers to the copy of the first inserted character or pos if no characters were inserted (count == 0 or first == last or ilist.size() == 0)
10,11) *this

[edit] Exceptions

1-4,10) Throws std::out_of_range if index > size().
5) Throws std::out_of_range if index > size() or if s_index > str.size().
11) Throws std::out_of_range if index > size() or if t_index > sv.size().

In all cases, throws std::length_error if size() + ins_count > max_size() where ins_count is the number of characters that will be inserted.

In all cases, if std::allocator_traits<Allocator>::allocate throws an exception, it is rethrown.

(since C++20)

If an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect (strong exception safety guarantee).

[edit] Example

Run this code
#include <cassert>
#include <iterator>
#include <string>
 
using namespace std::string_literals;
 
int main()
{
    std::string s = "xmplr";
 
    // insert(size_type index, size_type count, char ch)
    s.insert(0, 1, 'E');
    assert("Exmplr" == s);
 
    // insert(size_type index, const char* s)
    s.insert(2, "e");
    assert("Exemplr" == s);
 
    // insert(size_type index, string const& str)
    s.insert(6, "a"s);
    assert("Exemplar" == s);
 
    // insert(size_type index, string const& str,
    //        size_type s_index, size_type count)
    s.insert(8, " is an example string."s, 0, 14);
    assert("Exemplar is an example" == s);
 
    // insert(const_iterator pos, char ch)
    s.insert(s.cbegin() + s.find_first_of('n') + 1, ':');
    assert("Exemplar is an: example" == s);
 
    // insert(const_iterator pos, size_type count, char ch)
    s.insert(s.cbegin() + s.find_first_of(':') + 1, 2, '=');
    assert("Exemplar is an:== example" == s);
 
    // insert(const_iterator pos, InputIt first, InputIt last)
    {
        std::string seq = " string";
        s.insert(s.begin() + s.find_last_of('e') + 1,
            std::begin(seq), std::end(seq));
        assert("Exemplar is an:== example string" == s);
    }
 
    // insert(const_iterator pos, std::initializer_list<char>)
    s.insert(s.cbegin() + s.find_first_of('g') + 1, {'.'});
    assert("Exemplar is an:== example string." == s);
}

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 7 C++98 overload (8) referred to a non-existing overload refers to overload (4) correctly
LWG 847 C++98 there was no exception safety guarantee added strong exception safety guarantee
LWG 2946 C++17 overload (10) caused ambiguity in some cases avoided by making it a template
