String buffer to streambuffer

[vin_pll]

Dear experts,

please tell me is anyway of converting a string buffer into stream buffer.

i desperately need this for my project.
i want to convert from

char *buffer;(some contents)

strembuf *buf=buffer;

is this is possible is there any way please help me.

What is strembuf?

What is strembuf?

There are three possibilities:
1. A class
2. A structure
3. A type

@vin_pll: We can't know if char* is convertable to streambuf if we don't know what it is (one of the three above). If it's a type then casting (streambuf*) is needed (at least in C++).

char *buffer;(some contents)

strembuf *buf=(strembuf*)buffer;

actually, in this case, the streambuf (i'm only guessing here, but I suspect you're talking about an std::streambuf) does not need to be a pointer. you can do the following:

#include <iostream>

char buffer[] = "this is a string";
std::streambuf *buf = new std::stringbuf(buffer);

std::streambuf is a pure virtual class and cannot be instantiated by itself. you have to use std::filebuf or std::stringbuf, or perhaps a custom class derived from it.

thank you experts,
for giving your suggestion,

but none of them is working

strembuf *buf=(strembuf*)buffer;

i tried to cast this but no result is there any way to print the output(buf) here,

and also

std::streambuf *buf = new std::stringbuf(buffer);

this is giving me a error like no constructor is defined

is there any other possiblities so that i cast and display the contents if it is successfull.

Did you #include <streambuf> and <sstream>?
