String Iterators

[WebmasterMattD]

Am in need of some help with a string iterator.

Basically I want to set the iterator to a particular location of a string, such as that returned by the string::find() function.

Any help would be greately apreciated.

string::find() returns an interator, just do an assignment with the return value.

>>string::find() returns an interator,
No,string::find returns string::size_type.

You can do this

string::size_type st = str.find("...");
string::iterator strIter = str.begin();
strIter += st;

You're right, I was thinking of the generic find from <algorithm>.

Thanks for that.

incrementing the iterator by the number of possitions relative to the start worked.
