Convert const Byte* to std::string c++

Question

How can i convert const Byte* to std::string.I tried the following

std::string sTemp(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(ByteBuffer));

Where ByteBuffer is const Byte*.Not got the value of ByteBuffer in sTemp using the above code Please help

Thanks,

Answer 1

If ByteBuffer contains a NUL-terminated string, then the code should work fine.

If it doesn't, you need to supply its length as the second parameter to the string constructor .

The above assumes that Byte is what I think it is, and that ByteBuffer is not NULL .

Answer 2

There's no such data type as 'Byte' in C++. I assume it's a 8-bit data store if at all it exists, in which case your code is correct. Make sure there's a null character - '\\0' in the buffer.
