NAME

  basic_istringstream

SYNOPSIS

  #include <sstream>
  template<class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT>,
          class Allocator = allocator<void> >
  class basic_istringstream
  : public basic_istream<charT, traits>

DESCRIPTION

  The template class basic_istringstream<charT,traits,Allocator> provides
  functionality to read from an array in memory. It supports reading objects
  of class basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>. It uses a basic_stringbuf
  object to control the associated storage. It inherits from basic_istream
  and therefore can use all the formatted and unformatted input functions.

INTERFACE

  template<class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT>,
          class Allocator = allocator<void> >
  class basic_istringstream
  : public basic_istream<charT, traits> {

  public:

   typedef basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>  sb_type;
   typedef basic_ios<charT, traits>                   ios_type;

   typedef basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>     string_type;

   typedef traits                           traits_type;
   typedef charT                            char_type;
   typedef typename traits::int_type        int_type;
   typedef typename traits::pos_type        pos_type;
   typedef typename traits::off_type        off_type;

   explicit basic_istringstream(ios_base::openmode which =
                                ios_base::in);

   explicit basic_istringstream(const string_type& str,
                                ios_base::openmode which =
                                ios_base::in);

   virtual ~basic_istringstream();

   basic_stringbuf<charT,traits,Allocator> *rdbuf() const;
   string_type str() const;

   void str(const string_type& str);

  };

TYPES

  char_type
     The type char_type is a synonym for the template parameter charT.

  int_type
     The type int_type is a synonym of type traits::in_type.

  ios_type
     The type ios_type is an instantiation of class basic_ios on type charT.

  istringstream
     The type istringstream is an instantiation of class basic_istringstream
     on type char:

       typedef basic_istringstream<char> istringstream;

  off_type
     The type off_type is a synonym of type traits::off_type.

  pos_type
     The type pos_type is a synonym of type traits::pos_type.

  sb_type

     charT.

  traits_type
     The type traits_type is a synonym for the template parameter traits.

CONSTRUCTORS

  explicit basic_istringstream(ios_base::openmode which =
                     ios_base::in);
                        Constructs an object of class basic_istringstream,
                        initializing the base class basic_istream with the
                        associated string buffer. The string buffer is
                        initialized by calling the basic_stringbuf
                        constructor
                        basic_stringbuf<charT,traits,Allocator>(which).

  explicit basic_istringstream(const string_type& str,
                     ios_base::openmode which =
                     ios_base::in);
                        Constructs an object of class basic_istringstream,
                        initializing the base class basic_istream with the
                        associated string buffer. The string buffer is
                        initialized by calling the basic_stringbuf
                        constructor
                        basic_stringbuf<charT,traits,Allocator>(str,which).

DESTRUCTOR

  virtual ~basic_istringstream();
     Destroys an object of class basic_istringstream.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

  basic_stringbuf<charT,traits,Allocator>*
  rdbuf() const;
     Returns a pointer to the basic_stringbuf associated with the stream.

  string_type
  str() const;
     Returns a string object of type string_type, which contains a copy of
     the underlying buffer contents.

  void
  str(const string_type& str);
     Clears the string buffer and copies the string object str into it. If
     the opening mode is in, initialize the input sequence to point at the
     first character of the buffer. If the opening mode is out, initialize
     the output sequence to point at the first character of the buffer. If
     the opening mode is out | app, initialize the output sequence to point
     at the last character of the buffer.

  #include<string>
  #include<iomanip>

  void main ( )

   wchar_t buf[50];

    // create a read/write string-stream object on wide char
    // and attach it to an wistringstream object
   wistringstream in(ios_base::in | ios_base::out);

    // tie the ostream object to the wistringstream object
   wostream out(in.rdbuf());

    // output ntbs in out
   out << ntbs;

    // output each word on a separate line
   while ( in.get(c) )
     {
      if ( c == L' ' )
       wcout << endl;
      else
       wcout << c;
     }
   wcout << endl << endl;

    // move back the input sequence to the beginning
   in.seekg(0);

    // clear the state flags
   in.clear();

    // does the same thing as the previous code
    // output each word on a separate line
   while ( in >> buf )
    wcout << buf << endl;

   wcout << endl << endl;

    // create a tiny string object
   string test_string("Il dormait pour l'eternite");

    // create a read/write string-stream object on char
    // and attach it to an istringstream object
   istringstream in_bis(ios_base:: in | ios_base::out |
                        ios_base::app );

    // create an ostream object
   ostream out_bis(in_bis.rdbuf());

    // initialize the string buffer with test_string
   in_bis.str(test_string);

   out_bis << endl;

    // output the base info before each integer
   out_bis << showbase;

   ostream::pos_type pos= out_bis.tellp();

    // output l in hex with a field with of 20
   out_bis << hex << setw(20) << l << endl;

    // output l in oct with a field with of 20
   out_bis << oct << setw(20) << l << endl;

    // output l in dec with a field with of 20
   out_bis << dec << setw(20) << l << endl;

    // output the all buffer
   cout << in_bis.rdbuf();

    // seek the input sequence to pos
   in_bis.seekg(pos);

   int a,b,d;

    // read the previous outputted integer
   in_bis >> a >> b >> d;

    // output 3 times 20
   cout << a << endl << b << endl << d << endl;
