For C++ is there an equivalant to "apstring.h"?

With Borland and M$ compilers I used apstring.h for handling strings. Is there a Unix equivalant that anyone knows of?

what kindof functionality does it provide?

basically with apstring.h and apstring.cpp you can do this:

#include<iostream.h>
#include"apstring.h"
#include"apstring.cpp"

int main()
{
apstring message("hello world");
apstring message1;

cout << message << endl;
cout << "Enter a message: ";
cin >> message1;
cout >> "You entered " << message1 << endl;

return 0;
}

You can assign strings to it even with whitespaces.

Ah a string class there are a few floating around I'm writing my own with the help of one of my C++ manuals I'm add and changing it some. If you want a copy of mine I'll be more than happy to let you have it.

You can use the <string>.
Here is the example.

<code>

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

main()
{
string message("hello world\n");
string message1;

cout << message << endl;
cout << "Enter a message: ";
cin >> message1;
cout << "You entered " << message1 << endl;

return 0;
}

Moe, you come through again!

With g++, did they get rid of all *.h files? Is that extension only set aside for user-created header files?

JStew · 02-13-2003, 05:35 AM

Palin,

If you don't mind, I'd love any sample of user files I can get my hands on. If you like, you can send it to phil_serittjunkmail@yahoo.com

You spammers and flamers can use it to do whatever evil purposes you may have as well :-D

In modern C++, the standard library headers do not have a .h on the end. This is becuase their contents are now in the "std" namespace - if you include the same headers with the .h suffix, the standard library funtions get bunged into your current namespace. You can include ANSI C headers under this scheme by prefixing their names with "c" (<cstdio>, <cstring>, <cstdlib>, etc.)

Yeah. These are the new stardard libraries that replace the old ".h" libraries. Generally, the new libraries are better. ( I haven't gone through detail into it why are they better)
You can still use the one ".h" libraries but you will get a warning message when you compile it.
