string class

[joeGrammar]

Just say I have some thing like this

const char* temp = "test";

string value;

What is the proper way to assign the const char* to the string.

ie

value=temp will not work, what will?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

const char* g=&quot;test&quot;;
string h;
h.assign(g);
printf(h.c_str());

HTH, s-)

Hi there,

simplest way is simply to assign it!

const char* temp = &quot;Some string&quot;;
string str;
str = temp;

or you can assign in the constructor:

string str(temp);
or
string str = temp;

The other way (to get a c-string from a string) you need str.c_str() BTW.
