Changing 'char *' to string

[cadbilbao]

Hello.

Until now, I've been using:
--------------//-----------------
char *MyValue = NULL;
MyValue = (char*)malloc(strlen(Another_Value)+1);
strcpy(MyValue,Another_Value);
-------------//------------------

Now, I want to change to the class 'string' (in order to avoid
memory leaks and buffer overflows).

I'm trying with:
------------------//--------------------
using std::string;
string string_MyValue;
string_MyValue = Another_Value
printf("\n string_MyValue = %s",string_MyValue);
-----------------//---------------------

But I do not get anything. Could anybody explain me what I am
doing wrong?

Thank you very much.

Try:
printf("\n string_MyValue = %s",string_MyValue.c_str());

printf isn't std::string aware. . .and if it were, it probably wouldn't use "%s".

you really ought to consider moving to cout and cin; but, even then you may have to add an overloaded

operator<<(const std::string&) depending on which implementation you're using.
