string find_first_of fails

[stober]

why does this fail (VC6 on W2K)

#include <string>

int main()
{
   string spath = "\\windows\\something";

   if(spath.find_first_of("*?") >= 0)
   {
       // this is always true 
       // remove the wild cards
   }
}

But this works ok:

#include <string>
int main()
{
   string spath = "\\windows\\something";
   int pos = spath.find_first_of("*?");
   if(pos >= 0)
   {
       // remove the wild cards
   }
}
