I have a computer game that has no console. If I want to output something I
push a string to the back of a std::vector<std ::stringand that gets output
and maintained.
All is well and good, but what I would like to do is to be able to use
ostream's power for this output. I could create my own ostream and check it
every cycle or something, but then I would have to pass this ostream or make
it global.
What I would like to do is have something like:
std::cout << "Player " << ThisPlayer.Name () << " logged in at: " << time()
<< "\n";
and have that get redirected, somehow, to my vector.
If no one has an easy way to do this I'll have to go with the global ostream
approach and pull everything out of it every cycle. 3 6670

Write a streambuf that appends to the vector, then replace cout's one with
that.

I found a nice solution here: http://groups.google.com/group/borla...c46e2bfaaa6cbc
---------
ostringstream output;
// set cout's streambuf to be the ostringstream's streambuf
cout.rdbuf(outp ut.rdbuf());

Hello,
Please bear with me, I am trying to learn C++. I am implementing some
error/debug functions which format a message and output it to a C++ stream.
I would like to design it using one low level function which accepts a
"generic C++ stream" as an argument (cerr, cout, ofstream, etc). I have
tried to make the parameter a const ostream&, but when I plug in cerr or
cout I get a compiler error. What am I doing wrong?

I have a situation where at tool is passing me a large array of
strings that I need to process in a particular type of data. Each item
in the array gets to me as a pair of std::strings, basically, one
string represents the data, one string represents the data type.
Here's a quick example of what it sort of looks like
string data = { "0.0000002342", "12.00234", "42", "5" };
string types = { "EF", "EF", "I", "I" }; //EF is 64 bit float,...

Novice type question here.
I'm working with a very simple app here that takes a series of strings

Hi,
I am writing a simple filter type program that can take input from
file or stdin, and output to a file or stdout. It would make life much
easier if I could assign cin to a ifstream object and read it like a
file and do the same for cout (to an ofstream). Any ideas how I could
do this? Or perhaps some comments on how I could redo the code to do
what I want? Simplified code follows:
#include <iostream>

I have 2 programs.
1st PROGRAM: copies an input file to standard output but it
does so at the expense of deleting all white-space
(space, tabs, newlinies etc).
2nd PROGRAM: copies the input as it is to the standard output.

Hello all,
When I subclass std::exception and throw an instance of the subclass,
when I call the what() method of the caught exception, it does not
call the overridden method. I'm under the impression that
std::exception declares what() as a virtual method, so I'm at a loss
as to why the subclass's what() is not being called. For example, for
this program:
