Convert a byte array to encoded string

Question

I would like to know how to convert a byte array to string given an encoded scheme e.g

string Convert2Str(byte* b, UTF32);
string Convert2Str(byte* b, UTF7);
etc

The only reference in C++ I found was `SysTestAssert.convert2str()` taking only one argument. You could try this SO question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5451305/how-to-make-function-argument-container-independent — Weather Vane, Jan 16 '15 at 20:55
that is a struct I made myself that works like string in c++ — Molita Bolida, Jan 16 '15 at 20:56

There's no standard c++ way to do so.

Some 3rd party libraries are available to convert encodings (e.g. UTF8-CPP).

_{Note: byte isn't a standard c++ type either. You probably meant uint8_t.}

thanks I need utf7, 8,16,32, all but your utf8-cpp only has utf8 which is not enough. – Molita Bolida Jan 16 '15 at 20:56
yes, I define it as a uint8_t only for easier to understand I call it byte – Molita Bolida Jan 16 '15 at 20:59
@MolitaBolida Then research for other 3rd party libraries, that meet your requirements (I'm pretty sure there are some available). Asking for particular ones is off-topic here anyways. – πάντα ῥεῖ Jan 16 '15 at 21:00
