simple C++ templates suited for STL Containers

Question

I need a template like this, which work perfectly

template <typename container> void mySuperTempalte (const container myCont)
{
    //do something here
}

then i want to specialize the above template for std::string so i came up with

template <typename container> void mySuperTempalte (const container<std::string> myCont)
{
    //check type of container
    //do something here
}

which doesnt't work, and throws an error. I would like to make the second example work and then IF possible i would like to add some code in the template to check if a std::vector/std::deque/std::list was used, to do something differently in each case. So i used templates because 99% of the code is the same for both vectors and deques etc.

Answer 1

To specialize:

template<> void mySuperTempalte<std:string>(const std::string myCont)
{
    //check type of container
    //do something here
}

To specialize for vector:

template<typename C> void mySuperTempalte (std::vector<C> myCont)
{
    //check type of container
    //do something here
}

To specialize for deque:

template<typename C> void mySuperTempalte (std::deque<C> myCont)
{
    //check type of container
    //do something here
}
