    increment iterator after loop

    I have a list interator

    Code:
    list<ClassA*>::iterator it;
    for(it = list1.begin(); it != list1.end(); ++it)
    {
        if( (*it)->itsvalB == myvalB)
         {
           break;
           }
    }
      if(it == list1.begin())
       { do A; }
        if(it == list1.end())
       { do B; }
        else
       { list<ClassA*>::iterator it1 = ++it;
          cout<<(*it1)->itsvalB<<endl;
       }
    this will not increment to the next val in list1. how can i do such a thing?
    I don't want to increment it1 in the for loop, because then it1 will increment past the end of the loop for the last increment (i think).

    Many thanks for the help again.

    It will increment unless that if statement evaluates to true and you break out of the loop.

    Except of course it does. Why do you think it doesn't?

    How about something like -

    Code:
    if(it != list1.end())
    {
       list<ClassA*>::iterator it1 = ++it;
          cout<<(*it1)->itsvalB<<endl;
    }
    Spidey out!

    How about something like -
    Except for the problem where that code will crash if it points to the last item in the list...

    It may also just corrupt some memory. Like the new/malloc pool.
