cin to stringstream

[cherico]

I'd like to read stings from cin and put them
in stringstream.

I use a string object as an intermediate "container"
to store data from cin and then put them in stringstream.

stringstream ss ;
string str ;
cin >> str ;
ss << str ;

Is there any way to put data from cin into stringstream
directly?

such as :
stringstream ss ;
cin >> ss ;

(which doesn't work...)

Does this count?

void copy_string(istream& in, ostream& out)
{
string str;
in >> str;
out << str;
}

stringstream ss;
copy_string(cin, ss);

Its still uses a intermediate string but its hidden from the rest of your
code.

Other than that I don't think there is a way. Why is it an issue? There
maybe another way to solve whatever problem you are having.

If you don't mind putting all of the data into the stringstream, you
can do:

ss << cin.rdbuf();

Alternatively, there are plenty of ways of copying data from one to
the other using algorithms. e.g.

std::istreambuf_iterator<char> begin(cin), end;
std::ostreambuf_iterator<char> out(ss);
std::copy(begin, end, out);
//or use a different algo, like copy_n.

If you read strings and put them into a stringstream you are implicitly
removing whitespace: is this by design or by accident?
stringstream ss ;
cin >> ss ;

Here are a few alternatives which do not remove whitespace:

std::stringstream ss;
ss << std::cin.rdbuf();

std::copy(std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(std::cin) ,
std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(),
std::ostreambuf_iterator<char>(ss));

.... and a few alternatives which do remove whitespace:

std::copy(std::istream_iterator<std::string>(std:: cin),
std::istream_iterator<std::string>(),
std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(ss));

bool my_isspace(char c) { return std::isspace(c); } // in namespace scope
std::remove_copy_if(std::istreambuf_iterator<char> (std::cin),
std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(),
std::ostreambuf_iterator<char>(ss), my_isspace);

There's a missing conversion in that isspace call:

bool my_isspace(char c) {
return std::isspace(std::char_traits<char>::to_int_type(c ));
}

otherwise you get UB for negative values of c (other than EOF).
