istringstream question

[Viet Le Hong]

Hi,
Is there any way to initiate a istringstream object's string without
using constructor. I have tried the str() function but it did not work.
For example, I want to write the following code:

istreamstring iss(my_string);

then do somethings that involes the >> operator

then I want to change the string content in this buffer to other string
and use the >> operator on it again.

I have tried iss.str(my_new_string), but it does not work.Anybody knows
how to do this?

Thanks very much
Viet

That is how you do it. It works for me. Post a complete, compilable code
sample and tell us where the error occurs.

That was the code I have written in my program, sorry I could not post
all my program because it's quite long. The next light function read new
line from a file, I have check the function and it works fine. The
problen happens after the >> call in the read eye part, it does not
change the value of "command" variable at all.
Thanks

camera res;
string command;
// read image size
next_line();
istringstream ss(buffer);
ss >> command;
if (command!="IMAGESIZE")
throw parser_error_exception("Invalid image size command when reading
camera");
else
{
int width, height;
ss >> width >> height;
res.set_image_size(width,height);
}

// read eye
next_line();
ss.str(buffer);
ss >> command;
if (command!="EYE")
throw parser_error_exception("Invalid eye command when reading camera");
else
{
double x,y,z;
ss >> x >> y >> z;
res.set_eye(x,y,z);
}

What might have happened, is that the stream object is put into an
invalid state by one of the read operations. You should generally
test the state of a stream after every read. The clear () member
function is used to reset the state.

The comp.lang.c++ FAQ (Google for C++ FAQ) has a good section on IO
which is almost certain to help you get your code working.
