How do I convert a CString to char? strcpy(char_var, CString_var); isnt working. I tried char_var = (char*)CString_var.GetString(); which is partly working but it seems to copy a lot of other stuff (conversion symbols/tags?) too. The char_var displays correctly in a MessageBox, but I can`t get a char with char_var[3] for example out of it. char_var=CString_var.GetAt(3); isnt working either, as well as .GetBuffer...

Do you mean the MFC CSTring class? Look at the getBuffer member variable. IS MFC not dead? The reason for it copying lots of other stuff might be because it is either unicode or wchar format. Why do you want to take it out of the CString and put it into a char array? ____________ I see 57,005 people. |

Doing this for work... The fields I`m using to enter a date (dd.mm.yyyy) only give me the option to read the entered text as CString. I have to convert it into a char array, cause the function I had to write needs it like that (converts it to ints then, I know its stupid, but it has to be that way). Maybe someone can tell me, if I can change the those fields somehow so they read it as string or char[] directly? ____________ Roundhousekick to the face, baby! |

Did you read the MSDN library entry for the CString class? That tells you how to convert it to a const char pointer and how to access the array directly. Read about the http://msdn.microsoft.com/libr … PCTSTR operator. Code: //data == CString (LPCTSTR)data ); [Edited on November 8, 2006 by PEader] ____________ I see 57,005 people. |
