How to handle strings in VC++?

Question

HI,

Once we accept an input from a keyboard, How can we add that character into a string in VC++?

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

You can use std::string from STL, and the + or += operator.

To do this, #include <string> and use the class std::string.

After that, there are various ways to store the input from the user.

First, you may store the character input directly into the string:

std::string myStr;
std::cin >> myStr;

Second, you can append the input to an existing string:

std::string myStr;
myOtherStr += myStr;

As others have pointed, your question indicates that you are a beginner. If that is the case, you should read on the book/tutorial of your choice. You will get more complete and understandable answers, especially from a good book. If you don't know any, you can ask for a good one in StackOverflow - tag you question with recommendation.

Answer 2

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
  std::string s;
  std::cin >> s;
  s += " ok";
  std::cout << s;

  return 0;
}

Answer 3

Try the following:

std::string inputStr;
std::cin >> inputStr;

This code will accept a string typed on the keyboard and store it into inputStr.

My guess is that you're in the process of learning C++. If so, my suggestion is to continue reading your C++ book. Keyboard input will surely be addressed in some upcoming chapter or the other.
