how to reuse stringstream

Question

These threads do NOT answer me:

resetting a stringstream

How do you clear a stringstream variable?

        std::ifstream file( szFIleName_p )         


        

Answer 1

You didn't clear() the stream after calling str(""). Take another look at this answer, it also explains why you should reset using str(std::string()). And in your case, you could also reset the contents using only str(szLine).

If you don't call clear(), the flags of the stream (like eof) wont be reset, resulting in surprising behaviour ;)
