convert a char* to std::string
c++, stdstring
Solution
`std::string` has a constructor for this:
const char *s = "Hello, World!";
std::string str(s);
Note that this construct deep copies the character list at `s` and `s` should not be `nullptr`, or else behavior is undefined.
Problem
I need to use an `std::string` to store data retrieved by `fgets()`. To do this I need to convert the `char*` return value from `fgets()` into an `std::string` to store in an array. How can this be done?
