In my engine which I am developing I am using the new style C++ but as yet in the String class which I have done I have not been able to find a way round the following problems. The class has only member variables which are an int for the length and a char* for the data. 1. I want a constructor which takes a char* as an argument but i at the moment I need to use strlen so I can get the length. 2. I need a function to put int''s into the string and at the moment I have to use sprintf and this returns a length as well as having a char* to copy the data from into the class

I''m not entirely sure what the question you''re asking is (both methods you''re using will work, after all), but I''m not sure why you''re not using std::string and std::stringstream.

what''s wrong with strlen? well, anyways, you can go through the char* with a for loop, keep count of characters, and stop when you hit a 0 (''/0'').
