Write output stream to a string

Question

I have a stream object std::stringstream and I want to get whatever it currently has as a std::string. Is that possible? I want it for output to my graphic console.

You can use the stringstream::str() method for that: https://cplusplus.com/reference/sstream/stringstream/str/

Note that stringstream::str() returns a copy of the string, not a reference to it. To update or clear stringstream's string, use stringstream::str(string).
