Code not working

klepper (1)
Could someone help me with a code I've been having some difficulty with? With this code, I should be able to take a string with a full name and output the names one at a time. So, for example, the name "John Doe" would output to "First Name: John" "Last Name: Doe". This is what I have so far, and I haven't been able to get it to work yet.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string name = "John Jacob Schmidt";
	int index;
	index = name.find(' ');
	cout << "First Name: " << name.substr(0, index) << endl;
	name = name.substr(index+1, name.length()-1);
	index = name.find(' ');
	cout << "Middle Name: " << name.substr(0, index) << endl;
	name = name.substr(index+1, name.length()-1);
	cout << "Last Name: " << name;
	return 0;
}

The second parameter of substr() is not a position, it's number of characters.
