std::string s = var;

Or:

std::string s(var);

Just make sure the input is null-terminated.

Just use the = operator:

char var[23];// fill the arraystd::string string_var = var;

I think it will have to be NULL terminated for this to work.

Correct. If it isn't, you can do string str(var, var+23); or whatever the length of the string/array is supposed to be.
