I am attempting to create a server using the engine. I am trying to connect to a MySql Database but in order to do that I need all strings to be std::strings not the engine's Str structure.

I have got username and password all being set us Str. Is there anyway to be able to convert a Str to std::string?

(Str8)S+string

That looks to me like it's to convert std::string to Str which isn't what I want. I want Str to std::string.

string is your EE::Str, cast (Str8) will then be CChar8* which is std::string.

Example:

printf((Str8)S+"EE::Str I: "+i);

string myName;
myName = (Str8)S+name;

That's not working.

Try:

nope doesn't work.

Why make it so hard to convert into standard string classes?

Whoops. Try myName = (Str8)name. S+ is for non string types (int/flt/etc) my bad

Ok thanks that worked!
