Since RWCString is not C++ standard class, there is no C++ standard way
how to do it. I do not know RWCString, so I can only guess:

- look into RWCString documentation and try to find there some
converting function
- there may be also some method, whcih gives the buffer occupied by
RWCString. This may be used as one input parameters for std::string
- if RWCString can be written into output stream, you can srite it to
std::ostringstream and get the string with method str() from there

I googled for RWCString, and see it has an operator char*. So:
std::string MyString( RWCString );
*should* work.

Thanks to you both it is working. But i need to check if it works for
large message stream

then read a very large text file and test it,
it's easy to find out if it works for huge strings.

This won't work if the string contains character with ascii value 0.
In this case you need the length of RWCString as well.

You can use the data() function of RWCString class to get char *

RWCString testString("Hellow")
cout << testString.data()

You can use this further to initialise std::string objects. Hope this
helps.

Do not top-post!

{
std::string Tst("");
std::cout<<"Tst.max_size()="<<Tst.max_size()<<std: :endl;
}
