Is there some way to reset the state of a strstream so that it can
be reused as if it had just been instantiated for the first time.
I'm trying to avoid creating and destroying strstream's repeatedly
by reusing a single strstream.

Here's an illustration of what I want...

        ...

        // Create a single dynamic strstream which
        // we'll use multiple times
        strstream       stream;

        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                // Format something (may include spaces, etc...)
                stream << foo[i] << bar[i] << baz[i];

                // Do something with the formatted info
                UseTheFormattedInfo(stream.str());

                // *** HERE'S THE PROBLEM
                // Somehow reset the stream so it can be reused
                // I've tried stuff like this but it seems to have no
effect
                s.rdbuf()->freeze(0);
                s.rdbuf()->seekoff(0, ios::end, ios::in | ios::out);
        }
        ...

So, is there some magic to do what I want or is there a better way to
do this?

Direct e-mail responses would be appreciated.  I'll follow up to the
group.

Thanks,
