String: can someone explain this...

[Albert Schueller]

Hi,

Why do the two couts in this snippet of code printout different things when
response = "no"; but the same thing when response = "yes";?

I'm using egcs-2.91.66 on a Redhat 6.1-i386 machine.

thanks,

Albert

  cout << response.find_first_of("yY") << endl;
  position  = response.find_first_of("yY");
  cout << position << endl;

  return 0;
}
