Re: need some help with list::end ()

Hi,

Ok I'll try the *remove* method of the list and if I still cant get the
begin() method to work right I'll get back to this post.

Regards,

-ab.

Sorry for the late reply.

How are you deleting the items? Just doing filenames.erase(filename)
invalidates the iterator to the deleted object.

I use the "remove" method.

I have the following declaration:

list<char * >::const_iterator name, prev;

at some point I do:

prev = name;
name ++;
filenames.remove ( *prev );

and this is how I remove the items.

If you have duplicates in your list, the call to remove will remove more
than one of them at a time, including possibly the one now referenced by
"name". Use the loop that Bo suggested:

if (some_condition)
filename = filenames.erase(filename);
else
++filename;

that's the canonical way to iterate through a list removing some elements
as
you go.

-cd
