Hey, that's pretty cool. I'm glad to see the ability to format items inside of a container as well. It should handle maps and pairs reasonably well. I think that I have the same complaints about this as io_manip The saving of information to the stream means that you can affect all future output... For instance, if you have a type map<custom_object, list<string> > and custom_object's stream output uses io_format<list<string> >, then you are going to run into trouble if it wants a different formatting. I don't know the right way to solve that problem though. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
