Actually to get an empty
std::string, you just writestd::string‘s default constructor will give you an empty string without further prompting.As an aside, using NULL in C++ is generally discouraged, the recommendation would be to either use 0 (which NULL tends to be defined to anyway) or if you have a modern enough compiler,
nullptr.
