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

In most cases, it is easier to create a new istringstream or ostringstream instead of resetting the same ones.

However, if you do want to resent them:

• Resent flags of the stream (to avoid unexpected behavior) using clear ().

• While you can correct the contents of your stringstream using str (""), for efficiency purposes we might prefer str(std::string()).
