how to clear a sstreeam object

[Charles Herman]

I create a ostringstream object, and use it to write to. After having done
this, I want to re-use it, but first I need to clear out all characters in
it. How do I do this?

use the str() member function:

ostringstream os;
os << "bla";
os.str(""); // assign empty string to os
