Convert char to string C

Question

I know the starting address of the string e g   char  buf  and the max length int l  of the string i e   total number of characters is less than or equal to l    What is the simplest way to get the value of the string from the specified memory segment  In other words  how to implement string retrieveString char  buf  int l     EDIT  The memory is reserved for writing and reading string of variable length  In other words  int l indicates the size of the memory and not the length of the string

std  string str buffer  buffer   length     Or  if the string already exists   str assign buffer  buffer   length     Edit  I m still not completely sure I understand the question   But if it s something like what JoshG is suggesting  that you want up to length characters  or until a null terminator  whichever comes first  then you can use this   std  string str buffer  std  find buffer  buffer   length    0

There seems to be a few details left out of your explanation  but I will do my best     If these are NUL-terminated strings or the memory is pre-zeroed  you can just iterate down the length of the memory segment until you hit a NUL  0  character or the maximum length  whichever comes first   Use the string constructor  passing the buffer and the size determined in the previous step   string retrieveString  char  buf  int max          size t len   0      while   len  lt  max   amp  amp   buf  len        0               len               return string  buf  len         If the above is not the case  I m not sure how you determine where a string ends

Use the string s constructor  basic string const charT  s size type n  const Allocator amp  a   Allocator       EDIT   OK  then if the C string length is not given explicitly  use the ctor   basic string const charT  s  const Allocator amp  a   Allocator
