c++ - Read into std::string using scanf

Question

As the title said, I'm curious if there is a way to read a C++ string with scanf.

I know that I can read each char and insert it in the deserved string, but I'd want something like:

string a;
scanf("%SOMETHING", &a);

gets() also doesn't work.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

this can work

char tmp[101];
scanf("%100s", tmp);
string a = tmp;
