How to convert byte * to std :: string in C ++?

Hi guys,

I am on an embedded device and trying to get a message. This message is specified by the character const uint8* dataand its length.uint8 len

now i need std :: string to output my data.

Answer 1

If you do not want to convert the encoding, this will work:

std::string s( data, data+len );

If you want to convert UTF-8 to any system encoding used by your platform, you need to use some tools for a specific platform.

Answer 2

uint8* ? , :

std::string mystring(data);

Answer 3

sizeof (uint8)!= sizeof (char) :

std::string output( len, 0 );
for ( size_t i = 0; i < len; ++i )
  output[ i ] = static_cast<char>( data[ i ] );
