Hi,

can clarify for me how to add a single char into a string. At the moment I
do this:

    str.insert((string::size_type) tileidx - 1, &ch);

and it corrupts str. If this is wrong perhaps somebody would be kind enough
to give me code for adding and removing a character from a string. I took
the following from josuttis book c++ standard template library, page 491,
for anyone that uses it:

s.insert((std::string::size_type)0, 1, ' ');

and changed it to the above, as it would not compile if the last argument is
not a pointer. I dont really want to insert single character strings into
my string if I can avoid it.

thanks for any help.
