The ostringstream Member Function str()

The ostringstream member function str() converts an ostringstream to a string.

Here is a trivial example:

  std::string my_string;
  std::ostringstream my_ostringstream(
                      std::stringstream::in | 
                      std::stringstream::out );
  my_ostringstream << "Total: " << total;
  my_string = my_ostringstream.str();
  std::cout << my_string << std::endl;
