String and fstream question.

If I have a code like the following:


string Name;
ifstream File("file.in");
File>>Name;
File>>Name;

Will the string class free the memory it used for the string after the first File>>Name, so there wont be momery leak as a result of calling one after another File>>Name?

If I understand your question correctly, then, yes, there should be no memory leak.

That''s one of the points of the string class (and other STL containers): They take care of their memory themselves.
