    what kind of strings are supposed to be stored in MyMap.find("Check")->second ? I mean, you'll have to test programmatically the string to assign another boolean variable to true or false...

    From his snippet of code, I would say std::string.

      you misunderstood me. I meant what is contained within that string ? 1/0 ? true/false ? checked/unchecked ? white/black ?

        Thanks for the reply. This can be done. But instead I am looking for some function that does this like atoi() or itoa() for string to int and vice versa. Is there any function for strings to bool.

              what about

              bool f = temp == "true";

              :)

                Why ? That's quite simple, why do you want to use an existing function for that ?

                    Good news: it exists, is atob. The bad news is that you have to code it (anyway you got so many hints about). :-D

                        I am getting a string from map that can be either true or false. Is there any function or some alternative to convert this string into bool. So that I can store it in a bool variable.

                        string temp;
                        temp=MyMap.find("Check")->second; // give either true or false

                        I want to convert temp to bool. THANKS.

                          why do you need the ?: operator ? the std::string::operator==() already returns a bool. in the same direction, why wouldn't you write this then :

                          bool bVal = ((temp == "true") == true ? true : false)

                          or

                          bool bVal = (((temp == "true") == true) == true ? true : false)

                          or just

                          bool bVal = (temp == "true")

                          ;P
