[Boost-users] boost any questions and praise

Firstly. Thank you very much team Boost, it looks like it will be very useful and solve many of my coding problems. I can create an any boost::any a1; I can assign something to it a1 = string1; I can get it back out later std::cout<std::string(a1); A boost any has a "type()" method. However this produced an error. std::cout<(a1);
