Define easier :) Not to be picky, but how little do you expect to have to type? 1) write your own algorithm find_if_equal, then you only need one bind (~10 lines of code separate from your call) 2) write a functor, ObjectNameCompare (less than 15 lines of code separate from your call)

I have an object that has a member get_name which returns a string. I have a collection of these objects and would like to find one with a particular name. I am currently using find_if, equal and bind

find_if(objects.begin(), objects.end(), bind(equal_to<string>(), name, bind(&object::get_name, _1)));

Given Lambda doesn't compile under BCB6, is there an easier way to do this rather than having to make up 2 bind statements?

Thanks

Russell
