All:
I am trying to convert a CString value to an unsigned char array.
I found some code online that will allow me to compile, but when I try
to print out...i get a whole mess.
/*Begin Code*/
CString day("01");
unsigned char testDay[2];
//Code snippet found online
strncpy((char *) testDay, (LPCTSTR) day, sizeof(testDay) );
printf(day);
/*End Code*/
Up there i am trying to "cast" the Cstring into an unsigned char[2].
Any suggestions? What if it were the other way around...how would you
go about doing that? 5 14065

You'd be better off asking in a VC++ or Windows newsgroup, I think.
But I can see at least one problem right away. You're casting the CString
(an object) as a pointer (LPCTSTR, which, if I recall, is a "long pointer to
constant T-string"). That is simply not a valid cast. There should be a
member function or variable inside CString that allows you to access its
internal string data. Read your doc's or your on-line manual, or ask in a
newsgroup that knows about CString.

Ask about all that MFC and Windows stuff in an appropriate
newsgroup:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::string day("01");
std::cout << day << '\n';
return 0;
}
Look, Ma, no arrays, no C library functions, no MFC
(nor is any of that needed).

Why do you need an unsigned char array?

You didn't leave room for the trailing '/0'. //Code snippet found online strncpy((char *) testDay, (LPCTSTR) day, sizeof(testDay) );
I don't use strncpy, is testDay the destination? Also if this is a unicode
build you printf(day);
Did you mean testDay? /*End Code*/

In this case CString::operat or (LPCTSTR)()cons t; is that member function.

Cool. I didn't know that. (Which is another good reason VC++-specifc
questions belong in a newsgroup where they KNOW such VC++ things!)
But... since that's the case, why the cast? A conversion operator returns a
value of the type specified, so no cast is needed. You should be able to
just use the CString variable wherever an LPCTSTR is called for (as is
confirmed by a perusal of the online help).
-Howard
My apologies for posting this in the incorrect group (still new to this
newsgroup posting).
It turns out the code I initially wrote is correct.
The casting actually takes the string and puts it into "testDay"
without the null terminator. Because of this, it looks funny when it
prints out. I knew that there was no null terminator, but did not
realize it would print out in a wierd way.
Sorry for the hastle. Thanks for the replys

Lets say I have a char pointer and an std::string. Is it possible to get a

What is the correct way to convert a const char* to a CString? I'm
somewhat of a newbie and have tried several ways. While they all
convert ok, I'm using a profiler that shows a memory leak for every
option. Here's what I have tried:
const char* test;
test = getMyChar();
//CString myCString((LPCTSTR)test);
//CString myCString(test);
CString myCString = new CString(test);

I think I might create an enumeration with the values Off, Red, Yellow,
Blue, and Overloaded and I might use this for bitwise comparison.
So, when initializing the arrays, if I wanted to load the values "Off"
or "Red" into my arrays instead of "0" and "1", would this still be a
string array? Or would it be an array of the type of my enum? I would be
reading strings from the text file, I guess, but I wasn't sure if this
would be...

The problem, is that I tried everything I could to convert. The following examples are already useless:
