Thanks for the explanation. 'behind' is definitely nasty, but 'endpos' suggests the last char itself, not last char + 1. Personally, I'd stick with 'begin()' and 'end()' as the logical meaning is identical to that used by iterators, but since I (obviously) hardly ever go there I think you should discount all input from me ;-) -- Angus
