Thread: Flush / Empty a string

Hi

I am new to this!

how can I empty a string to be able to use it again in a loop?

Code:

stringstream myString;

while (something) {

// putting things into myString

cout << myString.str(); // print it out

// here I want to flush the string so it is empty at the beginning of the loop

// this does not work:
myString.str() = "";
// nor does this:
myString.flush(); 

}

Code:

myString.str("");

Thanks ZuK (Kurt)!



Re-declare it in the beginning of the loop also worked.

Unless you need it outside the loop, declaring it (not re-declaring it) inside the loop is probably the best solution.

Damn. I thought that I could actually help some one for once, but every one beat me to it.
I only learned this a few days ago, but I use :

Code:

myString.str("");
