Yes, the streaming operator I ended up trying and it worked (after I posted), but one thing I left out in my original post was the fact that I had an overloaded casting operator to std::string, which I figured would fix the issue just as well as the stream operator would. I was wrong, and that is what motivated me originally to post.<br>
<br>As far as this problem is concerned, however, it&#39;s solved.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 2, 2008 at 3:36 PM, Sohail Somani &lt;<a href="mailto:sohail@taggedtype.net">sohail@taggedtype.net</a>&gt; wrote:<br>
