Re: std::vector<std::string>*

Hi Arthur,
Since its a pointer to a vector of strings you can try something like
for(std::vector<std::string>::iterator it = Source_Name->begin(); it != Source_Name->end(); ++it ) {

    if( *it == agnTimeGap::agnName) { // no match ;}     else { // matched! ; }
}
Cheers,
Venkat
