Hi, Can I get the position from the iterator that I get from split_iterator? The position I am seeking to determine is the "zero-based number of token separated by the separator". That is, in "one;two;three;four;five;six;seven;eight", the position of three is 2 and eight is 7. Can anyone help me on this? I am using Boost 1.47.0 on Windows 2003 Standard Edition 32-bit with Visual C++ 2010 Express. Best regards, Asif
