OK thanks, I had looked into the Boost.Range documentation but didn't
look well enough. Now it compiles and runs perfectly.

Yep, in my program it's an already existing string, I quickly replaced
it by a temp to simplify the case in the mail, without realizing that
the resulting statement didn't make sense...

Maybe it could be good to have a very quick example of integration of
the simple_finder and simple_formatter together with find_format in
the docs? It can be obvious to you, but it would elude all the doubts
I had about the right way to use them (I was even not sure they were
"compatible" with each other).

Thanks a lot for your help!
