Thanx, that works. But now I've got another problem. I read in the
Documentation for C/C++ that the string class has a method called
"index" for finding the position of a character or substring. I wanted
to use that, but the line

pos = s.index("abc");

produced this error message

no matching function for call to 'string::index(char[4])'

I searched in "/usr/include/g++/std/bastring.h" for "index": no hits.
But it seems that the index method is defined in "String.h". Anyway,
including that one didn't help either.

Was "index" replaced by another method? Which one? Help!!
