std::basic_stringstream::basic_stringstream

From cppreference.com
explicit basic_stringstream( ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::in|ios_base::out );
(1)
explicit basic_stringstream( const std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Allocator>& str,
                    ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::in|ios_base::out );
(2)
basic_stringstream( basic_stringstream&& other );
(3) (since C++11)

Constructs new string stream.

1) Constructs new underlying string device. The underlying basic_stringbuf object is constructed as basic_stringbuf<Char,Traits,Allocator>(mode).

2) Uses a copy of str as initial contents of the underlying string device. The underlying basic_stringbuf object is constructed as basic_stringbuf<Char,Traits,Allocator>(str, mode).

3) Move constructor. Constructs the string stream with the state of other using move semantics.

[edit] Parameters

str - string to use as initial contents of the string stream
mode - specifies stream open mode. It is bitmask type, the following constants are defined:
Constant Explanation
app seek to the end of stream before each write
binary open in binary mode
in open for reading
out open for writing
trunc discard the contents of the stream when opening
ate seek to the end of stream immediately after open
other - another string stream to use as source

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
int main()
{
    // default constructor (input/output stream)
    std::stringstream buf1;
    buf1 << 7;
    int n = 0;
    buf1 >> n;
    std::cout << "buf1 = " << buf1.str() << " n = " << n << '\n';
 
    // input stream
    std::istringstream inbuf("-10");
    inbuf >> n;
    std::cout << "n = " << n << '\n';
 
    // output stream in append mode (C++11)
    std::ostringstream buf2("test", std::ios_base::ate);
    buf2 << '1';
    std::cout << buf2.str() << '\n';
}

Output:

buf1 = 7 n = 7
n = -10
test1
