string conversion

You can get the char* buffer of a string with the std::sting::c_str() method. Alternatively, I believe that you could use a stringstream to input into a float.

Thanks for the reply, but I am not sure how to use the std::string::c_str().

I have an array of (string) words, and each word is referenced by words[n]. Using atof(words[n]) doesn''t work. How can I use the above to cast the string into a char[].

Sorry, if I appear dum, I am just getting back into c/c++ after a good few years of and its like learning all over again. the old saying is true - "If you don''t use it, you lose it!"

Many thanks again

Scott

atof(words[n].c_str())

float nums[10];
for (int n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
	nums[n] = atof(words[n].c_str());
}
 

Get the idea?
