NAME

       FBB::StringLine - extracting lines using operator>>

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/stringline>

DESCRIPTION

       The  standard operator>>(std::istream &, std::string &) string extracion operator extracts
       the first `word’ from a stream. In cases where the intent it to  extract  lines  from  the
       stream this operator cannot be used, but getline(std::istream &, std::string &) is usually
       called.

       However,  getline  is  not  called  by  many  tools  of  generic  algorithms,   like   the
       istream_iterator.

       The  class  (actually: struct) StringLine was simply derived from std::string, and defines
       its own operator>>, reading the next line from the specified std::istream.

NAMESPACE

       FBB
       All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned  in  this  man-page,  are
       defined in the namespace FBB.

INHERITS FROM

       std::string

CONSTRUCTORS

       StringLine   is  an  empty  shell  around  std::string.  It  does  not  explicitly  define
       constructors. The default and copy constructors are available.

OVERLOADED OPERATOR

       o      std::istream &operator>>(std::istream &in, StringLine &str):
              The  extraction  operator  returns  the  next  line   on   in   in   str,   calling
              getline(std::istream &, std::string &).

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       All members of std::string are available, as FBB::StringLine inherits from these classes.

EXAMPLE

       The   following   example   extracts  all  lines  from  std::cin  and  adds  them  to  the
       std::vector<std::string> lines:

       #include <iostream>
       #include <algorithm>
       #include <iterator>
       #include <vector>
       #include <bobcat/stringline>

       using namespace std;
       using namespace FBB;

       int main()
       {
           vector<string> lines;

           copy(
               istream_iterator<StringLine>(cin), istream_iterator<StringLine>(),
               back_inserter(lines)
           );
       }

FILES

       bobcat/stringline - defines the class interface and operator>>.

       There are StringLine object files in the Bobcat library, so linking to Bobcat  when  using
       StringLine is not necessary.
