Multiple elements for substr C++

Question

I am working on a function which needs me to take the substring of the first two elements of a line.

char those = line.substr(0,1);

When I run the program, it only takes the first element, that's it.

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Also, how can I tell C++ to get the following elements from an index until the end of the line?

read the manual :) http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/substr — billz, Feb 25 '13 at 03:47

Ok, my next question is: how can I tell C++ to take elements from the index on. – Julio Garcia Feb 25 '13 at 03:51

@JulioGarcia: If you leave off the second argument it will return all characters from the index to the end of the string. – porges Feb 25 '13 at 03:55
