Are all you guys masochists or something? Why subject yourself to the horrible pain of zero based character array manipulation when you could be using the standard C++ string class?

I dunno later on I want to but I think I'm to lazy to learn to use them and since I already use C strings... But I read some stuff about it and indeed its way simpeler. Especially I like the way you can use operators like == and += normaly. O well some day....

Rick, there's not much to learn about the string class really. The on going productivity loss futzing around with c strings will never end, so investing a couple hours into learning how to use the string class is well worth it.

I'm still gonna stick to the character arrays, in spite of all this... yes.

I like to know where every single byte of memory goes to :)

That's not a drawback for me because my code is usually rather ANSI C than C++.

You could always write your own string class, there's not that much too it, esp if you just wrap the old C routines into it. But I hear you're not yet into C++?

"You could always write your own string class"

:D Exactly :D
