std::string construction

**l2u** · 09-18-2007

Hello

Whats the shortest/easiest way to do the following thing with std::string:

Code:

std::string r;
r = somestr + "@" + somestr2;

Is it possible to do this in one line statement?

Code:

   std::string r(somestr + "@" + somestr2);

I believe that will only work if the left-most string in the + concatenation sequence is a std::string (or has an equivalent operator+() ).

Yes, if somestr is some other type such as a char[], you'd have to use something like

Code:

std::string r(std::string(somestr) + "@" + somestr2);

That would be the shortest way, but perhaps not the easiest. This might be easier:

Code:

std::string r = somestr;
r += "@";
r += somestr2;
