since the mailing list does not like us asking for help int he subject
line here is my message again...
i have a string which has a bunch of numbers i want to read out and then
a char buffer as well. the string is of the form:
[num fields] [length field 1] [length field 2] ... [length field n -1]
[length field n] [buffer]
i can easily read the beginning numbers but the data blob is elluding
me. for the first part i want to use the delimiting behavior of >> to
pull out the individual numbers but for the second part i want to just
get the remainder of the stream including whitespace. anyone out there
who is knowledgeable about streams? here is my code so far:
istringstream ist;
ist.str("2 10 17 mark [EMAIL PROTECTED]");
uint32 numFields;
ist >> numFields;
uint32* fieldLength = new uint32[numFields];
for(uint32 i = 0; i < numFields; i++)
{
ist >> fieldLength[i];
}
string data;
data = ist.str(); // this returns the entire stream... not what i
want...
ist >> data; // this returns "mark" due to the whitespace... not what i
want...
