stl binary stream question

[frank.nielsen AT rocketmail DOT com]

Hi there

Properly a simple question for a stl programmer, which i'm not...

I am integrating two systems, one which is a c programs and the other uses stl. How do i pass a binary aray into a stream?! All examples i can find use file streams as input...

I fingue it will look something like this or maybe the stream has a .read method?!

void* data;
int datalen;

std::somekindofstream is( data, datalen );



Regards, Frank

Not quite sure what you mean by a binary string, but probably what you are
looking for is a istrstream (not to be confused with a istringstream).

std::istrstream is((char*)data, datalen);

istrstream like all input streams has a read method.
