How to find out if an item is present in a std::vector?

Question

All I want to do is to check whether an element exists in the vector or not, so I can deal with each case.

if ( item_present )
   do_this();
else
   do_that(

If you wanna find a string in a vector:

    struct isEqual
{
    isEqual(const std::string& s): m_s(s)
    {}

    bool operator()(OIDV* l)
    {
        return l->oid == m_s;
    }

    std::string m_s;
};
struct OIDV
{
    string oid;
//else
};
VecOidv::iterator itFind=find_if(vecOidv.begin(),vecOidv.end(),isEqual(szTmp));
