Hello All,



       Is it possible to *simply* limit the number of characters read from a
stream for data types other than strings?  For example the following will limit
the characters read for a string:


std::stringstream ss;

char first;

char word[8];



ss.str(  "I am a test." );



ss >> first;   //grabs the 'I'



ss.width( 3 + ss.tellg() );

ss >> word;  //grabs " am"



  Is there a similiarly simple way to do this with ints and such?



Regards,



           Nathan
