wostringstream vs ostringstream

[parian]

Preview not working (again) for me so excuse if this is a mess...

I noticed today that the following won't compile: VS doesn't like tconvert.str(""). Says "No instance of overloaded function...matches the argument list". Any ideas?

std::wostringstream tconvert;     <== wostringstream
//
//
//
tconvert.str("");                 <== won't compile
tconvert.clear(); 

but this works just fine:

std::ostringstream tconvert;    <== ostringstream
//
//
//
tconvert.str("");
tconvert.clear();

Try L"" instead of ""?

Preview doesn't work with an initial post, it is a well known problem.

code tags use brackets [ ], not < >.

Thanks! tconvert.str(L""); works just fine.

Fixed the [ stuff.

Fixed the [ stuff.

Ummmmm, no, you didn't. Learning to properly use code tags (and other types of tags) will make it easier for everyone to help.
