[Boost-users] [Regex] Replace algorithm

Hi,

I'd like to replace all parts of a string with the results of calling a 
function, passing the match as a parameter. Some pseudo-code:

---
std::string replacer(smatch& s)
{
    return std::getenv(s[1].c_str());
}
std::string const input = "This is ${USER} on ${HOST}";
boost::regex const re("\\$\\{([^\\}]+)\\}");
std::string result = boost::regex_replace(input, re, 
boost::bind(&replacer));
assert("This is Me on MyWorkstation" == result);
---
(I'm sure there are errors above, but I hope you get the general idea).
Any easy way to do something similar?
