c++ string manipulation

[5319]

i declared the string:

string = "Firstname middlename lastname"

how do i use standard template library and just print the middle name?

Here is some code that will work. It is not as simple as calling one function.

std::string str = "first middle last";

unsigned int first;
unsinged int last;
first = str.find(' ');
last = str.rfind(' ');

std::copy(str.begin()+first+1, str.begin()+last,
ostream_iterator<int>(cout));

Hope that makes sense...
The copy sends the chars to cout. It starts from m and ends right before the space. find gets the ' ' starting from the beginning. r find gets the ' ' starting from the end.
