I'm writing a "string splitter" for a parser, and i want to be able to use both char and wchar\_t. I have the following method :

```
static void tokenize(const basic_string<T> &, vector<CToken> &);

```

And i would like to give it a wide string to parse :

```
vector<CToken> tTokens;
CTokenizer<wstring>::tokenize(L"if(i == 0) { print i + 2; } else { return; }", tTokens);

```

I also tried :

```
vector<CToken> tTokens;
const wstring sCode = L"if(i == 0) { print i + 2; } else { return; }";
CTokenizer<wstring>::tokenize(sCode, tTokens);

```

So i assume there is something i don't understand about templates. What can i do please ?

Thanks for your help !

EDIT : Here is my build log :

EDIT :

```
template<class T>
class CTokenizer
{
public:
    static vector<T> s_tKeywords;
public:
    static void tokenize(const basic_string<T> &, vector<CToken> &);
};

```

The code from parser.cpp is the one from above :

```
vector<CToken> tTokens;
const wstring sCode = L"if(i == 0) { print i + 2; } else { return; }";
CTokenizer<wstring>::tokenize(sCode, tTokens);

```
