How to initialize a string stream from a char vector

Question

I am currently using boost char array

boost::array<char, 512> received_data; std::istringstream ss_(received_data.data()); 

but what if my received_data was std::vector<char> received_data(512);

How could I get this data in my std::istringstream ss_ ?

Answer 1

The istringstream string takes a string, and the string can be made of two char iterators, for example:

 istringstream iss(string(v.begin(), v.end()); 

Answer 2

 std::vector<char> receivedData(512); std::istringstream iss(&receivedData[0]);
