I'm trying to replace "\n" with "\n" but I'm not allowed to do it with this function:

std::replace(encryptedKey.begin(), encryptedKey.end(), "\n", "\\n");

encryptedKey is a long string.

I think I get the error because I'm trying to replace with more characters, is there any other solutions for doing this in a string?

What you are trying to achieve with that replacement? – Abhijit Pritam Dutta Mar 15 '18 at 14:46

You should recheck how replace [works](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/replace). Your going to need the `find` function to help you with this. – NathanOliver Mar 15 '18 at 14:46
