strings and char[]

Hi there!!!!!!!!,

I have two c type char arrays that I want to add together (with a space in between) and put into a cpp string. I am assuming da dis is the best way 2 do it.

eg)

Code:

---

char n1[10] = "Bill";
char n2[10] = "Stone"
string str = n2 + " " + n1;

---

I appreciate that stirng can be added but not like this.

Anyone have any ideas for me plz?

Thanks!!!

Use the strcat function.

Or you can use:
sprintf(fullbuffer, "%s %s", n2, n1);
Just make sure you have a big enough buffer.

Or, if you want to actually use C++ style strings from C style array strings:

Code:

---

string str = string(n1) + " " + string(n2);

Code:

---

stringstream strs << n1 << " " << n2;
string str = strs.str();

Lol, you guys taking the easy way out ! :(

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would that be classed as type casting the char *'s??????

That would be creating a temporary string out of a char* using the respective constructor.
