Thread: strstream: output is garbled

When using strstream, my output is garbled. Here is the code:

Code:

strstream strTemp;
strTemp << "hello" << endl;
pDC->TextOut(0,0,strTemp.str());

The output I get is 'hello' followed immediately by a bunch of rubbish characters. How can I stop this?

all strings need to end with '\0'...try

Code:

len = strlen(strTemp);
strTemp[len] = '\0';

You may be using the older string stream object as defined in <strstream>. I think I remember having problems like this long ago once when trying to use these objects. I finally figured out that I needed to add an end-of-stream character at the very end. I haven't done it the way sweets has but I think this accomplishes the same thing... haven't tried it though but I think this is what I did.

Code:

strstream strTemp;
strTemp << "hello" << endl << ends;
pDC->TextOut(0,0,strTemp.str());

Using the newer string stream objects defined in <sstream> may prevent this from being necessary.
