    copied!<p>I am attempting to serialize some EEG data from a command line application using the Boost library for the serialization and sending that serialized data over a named pipe to a user interface Form built in Visual Studio C++ 2010.</p> <p>From the boost library tutorial I am able to serialize my data structure, and, <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/serialization/doc/tutorial.html#simplecase" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/serialization/doc/tutorial.html#simplecase</a></p> <p>from this tutorial on Win32 named pipes, I can construct pipes and send text between applications. <a href="http://avid-insight.co.uk/joomla/component/k2/item/589-introduction-to-win32-named-pipes-cpp?tmpl=component&amp;print=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://avid-insight.co.uk/joomla/component/k2/item/589-introduction-to-win32-named-pipes-cpp?tmpl=component&amp;print=1</a></p> <p>The boost library tutorial serializes for a text file:</p> <pre><code>std::ofstream ofs("filename"); // create class instance const gps_position g(35, 59, 24.567f); // save data to archive { boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs); // write class instance to archive oa &lt;&lt; g; // archive and stream closed when destructors are called } </code></pre> <p>I want to know what do I need to serialize to in order to send my data structure over a named pipe? The IOstream c++ library seems to always need a file to stream to/from?<a href="http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/</a></p> <p>I don't want o serialize to a file and I am not sure what to serialize to? I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what I need to serialize to and it would be great if you could tell me whether another boost command will be required other than boost::archive::<strong>text_oarchive</strong> , as I have been unable to find an alternative. </p> <p>Thank you for your time! It is really appreciated!</p> <p>(This question has been asked before: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/652193/serialize-and-send-a-data-structure-using-boost">Serialize and send a data structure using Boost?</a> , but the person was told not to use boost as for his simple data structure boost would have too much overhead, so it really is still floating.)</p>
