What is the C++ equivalent of "rewriting bag", given in the cookbook?

I want to process a particular topic from a rosbag file and write the others unchanged to a new bagfile. Any help would be appreciated.

This code should work:

rosbag::Bag input("input.bag");
rosbag::Bag output("output.bag", rosbag::bagmode::Write);
rosbag::View topic_view(input, rosbag::TopicQuery("topic_to_reqrite"));

BOOST_FOREACH(rosbag::MessageInstance const message, topic_view) {
  output.write(message.getTopic(), message.getTime(), message, message.getConnectionHeader()); 
}

For more information on the API functions, have a look at the API docs.

Thank you, again! It is not very clear from the APIs that rosbag::write takes a MessageInstance as an argument.

Well, I didn't try it out but I expect it to work because the MessageInstance has all the required traits defined to be serializable.

Just tried it out, it works. Thanks.
