strstream problem

[johnboywalton]

Hi guys and girls;

When I'm trying to include the following line in my code I get an error that the file is not found.

#include <strstream>

I'm very new to C++ and I'm currently using microsoft C++ version 6.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

#include <sstream>

[Incubbus]

may i suggest u microsoft visual c++ 2008 since 6 is very old and 2008 is for free, too...

with regards

[johnboywalton]

thanx kbw that worked

Though I'm now trying to convert a string to an integer using strstream and it says this

error C2065: 'stringstream' : undeclared identifier

Unfortunately Incubbus it's in my college so hence such an old version.

In old C++ you have strstreams instead of stringstreams.
stringstreams work with std::strings, strstreams work with char arrays.
You could use them but they are deprecated

So Bazzy a stringstream statement wont work in my version of c++

I think VC++ 6 is just too old

[kbw]

If you have <sstream>, you have ostringstream and istringstream. Have you catered for the std namespace?

VC6 is not too old. Plauger's STL works just fine.

If you still have trouble, can you post a small sample that fails.
