You don't' have to do string to string.
Do string to some object .... Do some object to string ... It doesn't
matter.
Take care,

Sina:
What I was going to do was something like:
class player
{
private:
map <string,string> *values;
};
then I could write a save function on top of that.
I could always do something like:...
#define TYPE_INT 1
#define TYPE_STR 2
struct variant
{
union
{
int i;
string str;
} v;
int type;
};
but I'd have to store the type of the variant... somewhere
