In this case you should think about what you are doing...
do you want a substring _or_ do you want to get rid of part of the
string...
data.erase(data.find('='), string::npos));
but of course I am not sure that this works either if a '=' is not
found. What we need to check then is if data.erase(string::npos,
string::npos) is valied (and I guess that it is not).
