Reading one character at a time from a string/stringstream

[halluc1nati0n]

So, what's the easiest way to read one character at a time from a string/ stringstream in C++ and display it on the screen.

I know it's easy, but somehow it's eluding me. istream.get()?

Yeah get() should do what you want. There's some more info here.

If you want to do something a little more personally coded (since I don't really know a lot of C++.NET specifically) you could do something like....

//...
int n = sizeof(mychartext);
for (int pos = 0; pos < n; pos++)
{
    if (mychartext[pos] != ' ') //If the place where the position counter is not "space"
    {
         cout << mychartext[pos]; 
    }
    else if (mychartext[pos] == '\0') //If the place where the position counter is on holds a null value...
    {
         break; //break the loop, as we have reached the end of the string.
    }
    else
    {
         continue; //Do nothing, and allow the for loop to bring position to the next character.
    }
}

feel free to correct me if this is flawed. Hopefully the general idea can give you another idea as to how you could do this. :)

You don't need the continue in your loop Ryuurei. It'll cycle back up to the top anyway.

Thanks ViZioN and Ryuurei.

Forgot to mention, I've solved this using get() already and a stringstream :D
