Ive looked to the vast reaches of the itnernet and from what I have seen there is practically absolutely no way to clear a stringstream object!!! How is that possible? Say i have a stringstream object A, and i use it in a loop. At the beginning of every loop I want to clear A so it doesnt accumulate when I extract the string wtih A.str() FRom what ive seen there is no way to clear the buffer, the only solution i have come up wtih is to declare A as a pointer and do A = new stringstream; before the use and delete A after the use is there no better way?

Umm. I might be wrong but are you allowed to:

stringstream ss;//fill ss with junkss = "";

Then again maybe I''m out to lunch on this one...

As above, ss = "";
I asked the same question about ss = "";

It just seems wrong that there''s no clear method.
