Remove characters from string

[GliderKite]

I want to remove the initial and final " character from my string:

string str("\"aaaa\""); // "aaaa"

How can I do using standard c++ or boost library?
Thanks.

[Athar]

str=str.substr(1,str.length()-2);

No! But thanks for trying.

I resolved with:

boost::trim_if(str, is_any_of("\""));

or

boost::erase_all(str, "\"");

You are wrong. Your task as you described it is to delete initial and final " characters.

This code

boost::erase_all(str, "\"");

does another task that is it deletes all occurence of \".

And it is a very bad practice to use boost when the task can be simply done with standard means.

So the code suggested by Athar is much better.
