I''ve noticed a lot of questions around here about converting primitive data types to and from strings. So I decided to write a simple little include file that handles conversion from ints and doubles to and from strings, as well as whitespace trimming. Just simply include stringops.cpp into your project. it''s available free for any use whatsoever here: http://roninmagus.hopto.org/extra/stringops/stringops.cpp Let me know what you think! Also, let me know if you see any problems with it, so I can fix my own code!

As useful as such functions are, I prefer the approach taken by boost::lexical_cast - it puts the value on to a stringstream, reads it off, then checks that the entire stringstream was read (after trimming whitespace).

Are you talking about converting ints to strings or whitespace trimming?

For int->string, I just used bjarne stroustrup''s recommendation at http://www.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq2.html#int-to-string
