CString::operator =

const CString& operator =( const CString& stringSrc );
throw( CMemoryException );

const CString& operator =( TCHAR ch );
throw( CMemoryException );

const CString& operator =( const unsigned char* psz );
throw( CMemoryException );

const CString& operator =( LPCWSTR lpsz );
throw( CMemoryException );

const CString& operator =( LPCSTR lpsz );
throw( CMemoryException );

Remarks

The CString assignment (=) operator reinitializes an existing CString object with new data. If the destination string (that is, the left side) is already large enough to store the new data, no new memory allocation is performed. You should be aware that memory exceptions may occur whenever you use the assignment operator because new storage is often allocated to hold the resulting CString object.

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of CString::operator =.

// example for CString::operator =
CString s1, s2;        // Empty CString objects

s1 = "cat";            // s1 = "cat"
s2 = s1;               // s1 and s2 each = "cat"
s1 = "the " + s1;      // Or expressions
s1 = 'x';              // Or just individual characters
