making an array from a vector and a string.

[Hod Gabriel]

Hi,
i have the following problem:
i have a vector of chars
and a string.
i want to make 1 array of chars, which will contains first the string and then the vector (i want to send all of it as 1 array to a server.., so i need to send an array of chars)

i tried everything like c_str() on the string.. it doesn't work
my string is like 40 chars long and the array i get from using c_str() has only 8 chars. it cuts off all the other chars.
i did manage to put the vector in an array.
but converting the string into array of chars.. and then combining them both to 1 array - simply everything i tried didn't work

would be very thankful for some help
thanks,

Hod.

You might have difficulty if your string contains any null characters, but it should still work just fine as long as you're mindful of that possibility:

vector<char> vec = /*...*/;
string str = /*...*/;

char* p = new char[vec.size() + str.size()];  // assuming you don't need null termination

std::copy( str.begin(), str.end(), p );
std::copy( vec.begin(), vec.end(), p + str.size() );
