Thread: Problem with setw

I'm having a problem with setw that I haven't been able to find any information anywhere for. I can't get setw (or the iosflags like left and right for that matter) to work on strings that are being returned by a function using Dev-C++. Like so:

Code:

string func()
{
  return "Blah";
}

int main()
{
   string s="Blah";

   cout<<setw(25)<<s<<endl;          // this works
   cout<<setw(25)<<func()<<endl;  // this doesn't work

  return 0;
}

Anyone know if this is fixable? I had no problems at all using M$ Visual C++ at home...

Send back a NULL terminate string.

cout << func().c_str();

See if that fixes the problem.
