[RESOLVED] std string question

[Cpp_Noob]

im not really familiar with the string class and i came across a "problem" on my code

how is it possible to copy an array of bytes (binary) from a char array to a string variable?
the char array holds the data of a file , when i try to copy to a string it only copies until the first null byte

[Philip Nicoletti]

string s;
char   buffer[256]; // whatever

s.assign(buffer,n);  // n = number of bytes to copy

[Cpp_Noob]

thank you Philip Nicoletti!

thank you Philip Nicoletti!

If you want to construct a string like this:

char buffer[1000];
//...
std::string s(buffer, 1000);
