Converting int[] to String in C++

Question

I have a string defined as std::string header = \"00110033\"; now I need the string to hold the byte values of the digits as if its constructed like this

Answer 1

Do this:

  char data_bytes[] = { '0', '0', '1', '1', '0', '0', '3', '3', '\0'};
  std::string header(data_bytes, 8);

Or maybe, you want to do this:

  std::stringstream s;
  s << data_bytes;
  std::string header = s.str();

EDIT:

Last \0 in data_bytes is necessary. Also see this interesting output here: http://ideone.com/aYtlL

PS: I didn't know this before, thanks to Ashot I came to know this difference by experimenting!
