To write the code without a cast it's possible to qualify the name rdbuf with the name of the class where to look up its name: iss.istream::rdbuf (&fbuf); But there an important subtlety to these overloads of rdbuf that's worth mentioning. istringstream::rdbuf() always returns a pointer to the the same stream buffer object (the member of the stream object). basic_ios::rdbuf() returns a pointer the basic_ios subobject was last associated with by calling the one argument overload of basic_ios::rdbuf(basic_streambuf*) with. If in the example above one were to also call rdbuf() to obtain the streambuf pointer. To retrieve the basic_ios streambuf pointer, call istream::rdbuf() (e.g., iss.istream::rdbuf()). Martin
