Hi, For the sake of sounding incredibly stupid and having that stupidity forever archived on gamedev... How do I clear a stringstream? As far as I can tell, my C++ reference completely omits it. I tried:

std::stringstream Buffer;

for( Counter_1 = Child_Count - 1; Counter_1 >= 0; Counter_1 -- )
{
     Buffer << "[" << Counter_1 << "]";
     EAP_Memory.Destroy( Buffer.str() );
     Buffer.flush();
}

But this seems to have the effect of absolutely nothing . Destroy gets called subsequently with "[4]", "[4][3]", "[4][3][2]", etc. Ah the joys of converting a char* program to use the string class... - Jeff Leigh Enygma Arts [edited by - Jeff Leigh on September 25, 2002 5:14:57 PM] [edited by - Jeff Leigh on September 25, 2002 5:16:00 PM]
