How to construct a std::string from a std::vector<char>?

Well, the best way is to use the following constructor:

template<class InputIterator> string (InputIterator begin, InputIterator end);

which would lead to something like:

std::vector<char> v;
std::string str(v.begin(), v.end());

I think you can just do

std::string s( MyVector.begin(), MyVector.end() );

where MyVector is your std::vector.

With C++11, you can do std::string(v.data()) or, if your vector does not contain a '\0' at the end, std::string(v.data(), v.size()).
