memorystream

[Severin Ecker]

hi!

i just wanted to ask if there's something like a memorystream in the stl?
what i have in mind is, e.g. you can use an ifstream to open and operate on
a file, but what if the file is already in memory, so i was thinking if
there's anywhere some stream i can associate with a bunch of memory and use
all kinds of stream-reading functions.

thx in advance.
regards,
sev

Check out istringstream, which reads from a std::string, and istrstream,
which reads from a char array.
