Question

Is there a simple way of creating a std::string out of an const char[] ?

I mean something simpler then:

std::stringstream stream;
stream << const_char;

std::string string = stream.str();

Answer 1

std::string has multiple constructors, one of which is string( const char* str );.

You can use it like this:

std::string myString(const_char);

You could also use assignment, if you need to set the value at some time later than when the variable is declared:

myString = const_char;
