Re: tolower & other useful string functions....

 I've looked through the STL and not found anything.
 I think writing the functions yourself wouldn't be that difficult.  

 something like

 void lowercase(string & str)
 {
  int i;
  for (i=0; i<str.size(); i++)
      {
       if (str[i] < 'a')
           str[i] = str[i] +('a' - 'A');
      }
 }
