Unfortunatly, the solution does not seem to work. "std::vector<typename type>::const_iterator pos;" Gives me the errors: error: template argument 1 is invalid error: template argument 2 is invalid error: expected `;' before '::' token I also tried doing : "typename std::vector<type>::const_iterator pos;" As someone else suggested, but that gives me the same errors as previously.
