Fun with strings and vectors

[Alex Buell]

Hi,

I have quite a lot of strings that needs to go into a vector. Rather
than doing this:

std::vector<std::string> list; // not to be confused with std::list
list.push_back("a string");
list.push_back("another string");
list.push_back("arrgh, yet more strings");
list.push_back("my fingers are getting tired");

Is there a better way of doing this? Something like;

List myStrings[] = { "string 1", "string2", "string3" ... };

Thanks,
Alex

Damn. I must have missed that one; indeed yes that works perfectly and
the code doesn't suck! Thank you.

Hi Alex,

Is there a better way of doing this? Something like;

List myStrings[] = { "string 1", "string2", "string3" ... };

....also take a look at the Boost Assignment Library...!

Oh well I guess it's a good time as any to take an indepth look at
Boost. Thanks.
