However, we won't be able to do that for each use of ostringstream. Are you able to trace the code and see at what place this happens? An alternative would be to define a getline(ostringstream, string&), or maybe tostr(ostringstring const &) which does the right thing. But I suspect lars will not like it :) JMarc
