ANSI C++ string class iterators:

terators provide the ability to access the individual characters in a string.

01 #include <iostream> 02 #include <string> 03 using namespace std; 04      05 int main() 06 { 07    string alphabetLC="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; 08   09    string::const_iterator cii; 10    int ii; 11   12    for(cii=alphabetLC.begin(); cii!=alphabetLC.end(); cii++) 13    { 14       cout << ii++ << " " << *cii << endl; 15    } 16 }

This will print the integer position in the string followed by the letter for all characters in the alphabet.

0 a 1 b 2 c 3 d 4 e 5 f 6 g 7 h ... ..
