how to clear a stringstream object's data, not state.

[Àî°×]

hi all:

I want erase a stringstream' content for input new data to it.

example:
std::stringstream stm;
stm<<"this is a string";

std::cout<<stm.str();
// here print:this is a string

// do something here of the stm, i don't know .....
stm<<"not a string";

std::cout<<strm.str();
// I want print "not a string", not "this is a string not a string"

this is not a complete method. need a operate like a basic_stirng::erase().
not only stringstream, also fstream etc.

It does exactly what you asked for. It clears a stringstream's content.

need a operate like a basic_stirng::erase(). not only stringstream, also
fstream etc.

Well, you didn't mention fstream until now, so how could I have known this?
Anyway, what do you want it to do for an fstream? Remove the file? Replace
it with an empty file?

a function can clear all stream of the basic_ios object , fstream,
stringstream, wstringstream...

You still haven't made it clear what you want. basic_ios objects don't
have a str() function so they wouldn't work in the sample code you
provided.

To clear an istream, use "ignore()".

What would it mean to clear an ostream? How would you know it's cleared?

What do you mean by "clear"? What would it mean to clear a printer? In
general, streams cannot be cleared.

Add:
OP("Àî°×"), try this:

// #includes here
int main(){
std:stringstream Oss; // note type of stream.

Oss<<"this is a string";
std::cout<<Oss.str(); // here print: 'this is a string'

Oss.str(""); // empty the ostringstream object buffer.
// Oss.clear(); // if stream was in fail state.

// do something here of the stm, i don't know .....
Oss<<"not a string";
std::cout<<Oss.str();

return 0;
} // main() end

Is that what you ("Àî°×") were looking for?

He's already said he wants something that will work with any stream, not
just stringstreams.

Perfect! Exactly what I needed! Thanks Rolf!
