Template class basic_string 15.1 Introduction Template class basic_string String manipulation (copying, searching, etc.) typedef basic_string< char > string; Also typedef for wchar_t Include <string> string initialization string s1( "Hello" ); string s2( 8, 'x' ); 8 'x' characters string month = "March" Implicitly calls constructor

No conversion from int or char 15.1 Introduction No conversion from int or char The following definitions are errors string error1 = 'c'; string error2( 'u' ); string error3 = 22; string error4( 8 ); However, can assign to one char if declared s = 'n';

15.1 Introduction string features Not necessarily null terminated length member function: s1.length() Use [] to access individual characters: s1[0] 0 to length-1 string not a pointer Many member functions take start position and length If length argument too large, max chosen Stream extraction cin >> stringObject; getline( cin, s) Delimited by newline

15.2 string Assignment and Concatenation Makes a separate copy s2.assign(s1); Same as s2 = s1; myString.assign(s, start, N); Copies N characters from s, beginning at index start Individual characters s2[0] = s3[2];

15.2 string Assignment and Concatenation Range checking s3.at( index ); Returns character at index Can throw out_of_range exception [] has no range checking Concatenation s3.append( "pet" ); s3 += "pet"; Both add "pet" to end of s3 s3.append( s1, start, N ); Appends N characters from s1, beginning at index start

15.12 String Stream Processing String output Ostringstream outputString; outputString << s1 << s2; Member function str Returns string that was output to memory outputString.str()

Create ostringstream object. 1 // Fig. 15.11: fig15_11.cpp 2 // Using a dynamically allocated ostringstream object. 3 #include <iostream> 4 5 using std::cout; 6 using std::endl; 7 8 #include <string> 9 10 using std::string; 11 12 #include <sstream> 13 14 using std::ostringstream; 15 16 int main() 17 { 18 ostringstream outputString; // create ostringstream instance 19 20 string string1( "Output of several data types " ); 21 string string2( "to an ostringstream object:" ); 22 string string3( "\n double: " ); 23 string string4( "\n int: " ); 24 string string5( "\naddress of int: " ); fig15_11.cpp (1 of 2) Create ostringstream object.

Output format just like to writing to cout. 25 26 double double1 = 123.4567; 27 int integer = 22; 28 29 // output strings, double and int to outputString 30 outputString << string1 << string2 << string3 << double1 31 << string4 << integer << string5 << &integer; 32 33 // call str to output contents 34 cout << "outputString contains:\n" << outputString.str(); 35 36 // add additional characters and call str to output string 37 outputString << "\nmore characters added"; 38 cout << "\n\nafter additional stream insertions,\n" 39 << "outputString contains:\n" << outputString.str() 40 << endl; 41 42 return 0; 43 44 } // end main fig15_11.cpp (2 of 2) Output format just like to writing to cout.

fig15_11.cpp output (1 of 1) outputString contains: Output of several data types to an ostringstream object: double: 123.457 int: 22 address of int: 0012FE94   after additional stream insertions, more characters added fig15_11.cpp output (1 of 1)

15.12 String Stream Processing String input istringstream inputString ( myString ); inputString >> string1 >> string2 Like reading from cin

Create and initialize istringstream object. 1 // Fig. 15.12: fig15_12.cpp 2 // Demonstrating input from an istringstream object. 3 #include <iostream> 4 5 using std::cout; 6 using std::endl; 7 8 #include <string> 9 10 using std::string; 11 12 #include <sstream> 13 14 using std::istringstream; 15 16 int main() 17 { 18 string input( "Input test 123 4.7 A" ); 19 istringstream inputString( input ); 20 string string1; 21 string string2; 22 int integer; 23 double double1; 24 char character; 25 fig15_12.cpp (1 of 2) Create and initialize istringstream object.

Read data into variables. fig15_12.cpp (2 of 2) 26 inputString >> string1 >> string2 >> integer >> double1 27 >> character; 28 29 cout << "The following items were extracted\n" 30 << "from the istringstream object:" 31 << "\nstring: " << string1 32 << "\nstring: " << string2 33 << "\n int: " << integer 34 << "\ndouble: " << double1 35 << "\n char: " << character; 36 37 // attempt to read from empty stream 38 long value; 39 40 inputString >> value; 41 42 // test stream results 43 if ( inputString.good() ) 44 cout << "\n\nlong value is: " << value << endl; 45 else 46 cout << "\n\ninputString is empty" << endl; 47 48 return 0; 49 50 } // end main Read data into variables. fig15_12.cpp (2 of 2) good returns 1 if can still read data (no EOF, bad bits, etc). In this case, there is no data, so the test fails.

fig15_12.cpp output (1 of 1) The following items were extracted from the istringstream object: string: Input string: test int: 123 double: 4.7 char: A   inputString is empty fig15_12.cpp output (1 of 1)
