Question

I want to write a c array into a container and i prefer to modify it if possible. I was thinking of using vector but it does seem to have a write(*pchararray, len); function. String looked like the next best thing but that too doesnt have a write function?

Answer 1

Given

char myarray[10]; 

You can use an STL iterator:

vector <char> v; copy(myarray, myarray + 10, back_inserter(v)); 

You can use a constructor:

vector <char> v(myarray, myarray + 10); 

You can resize and copy:

vector<char> v(10); copy(myarray, myarray + 10, v.begin()); 

(and all these work similarly for string)

Thanks to comments/other answers 🙂
