Thread: Copying *Specific* Elements From VectorA to VectorB :: C++

Hi.

Let say there are two vectors, vectorA and vectorB.

-----------------------------------------------------
string dataTemp;
std::vector<string> vectorA, vectorB;

for (int = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
dataTemp += i;
vectorA.push_back(dataTemp);
}

/* The loop above should produce vectorA to look something like this:
0
1
12
123
1234
12345
123456
1234566
12345678
123456789
*/

Okay, vectorB is empty.

I want to copy *specific* elements from vectorA to vectorB.

For example:

vectorB.push_back(vectorA[4]); // Is that right?
vecotrB.push_back(vectorA[8]);

Thanks,

you might need to cast i to a string (maybe the compiler will do it automatically for you but I don't think so) first, and a vector of strings is similar to a 2D char array so you need to specify which string from which vector you want to add to, but then ya, the code you have should work. It will append the char from the string in vector A to the end of the string, although there is an insert function to place the new char somewhere other than the end if you wish.

vectorB[3].pushback(vectorA[8][7];

add the eigth char in the ninth string from vectorA to the end of the fourth string in vectorB.
