So lets say I had a string that was 

<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title><head>

and so
I’m using the str.find(); to find where the title tag starts and it gives me the correct position but how would I go about printing just the

301 Moved Permanently

My code:

    string requestedPage = page.GetBody(); //Get the body of a page and store as string "requestedPage"

    int subFromBeg = requestedPage.find("<title>"); //Search for the <title> tag
    int subFromEnd = requestedPage.find("</title>"); //Search for the </title> tag



    std::cout << requestedPage; //before

    requestedPage.substr( subFromBeg, subFromEnd );

    std::cout << requestedPage; //after

    requestedPage.substr( subFromBeg, subFromEnd );

    should be

    requestedPage = requestedPage.substr( subFromBeg, subFromEnd );

    std::string::substr doesn’t modify the string, it returns a modified copy of the string.
