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);

Template parameters have to be types. The result of a1.type() is a std::type_info object. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
