This is course couldn't work. Either use strncpy(), or the for-loop you
tried (but see comments below).
Anyone got a suggestion?
Did you
#include <string>
?
It would have been nice to see the minimal, ought-to-work program. This
is it not, as there is no main() etc. etc. I just can guess if you just
forgot to post your #include directive or not.
Additionally, about such for-loops:
* use size_t for i, if you compare against a size_t. Then the compiler
will also not complain about comparison of signed with unsigned
values.
* check if your destination buffer is big enough for your string! And
no, "but this string will only have max. 60 chars!" is no argument.
Even for trivial programs, as you will import such a lazy style into
your more serious work (or into your exam, where it will have a bad
impact on your grade).
Finally: Why do you want to do this? As an inexperienced programmer you
could not care less about traditional C-style arrays and strings, as the
C++ classes are there for a reason: they make life easier, and more
safe. If you write about your problem, we maybe can point out a better
solution in the first place.

Get rid of the std::string. You'll also have to stick a terminating null
character after the characters that you copy.

szHostName[i] = tempHostNameStr[i];}
for ( int i = 0; i < tempHostNameStr .size(); ++i )
get rid of the std::string here. But you might as well use strcpy.
std::string tempHostNameStr = "s1e2.hidden.th ingy.org";
char szHostName[128];
if ( tempHostNameStr .size() 127 )
{
std::cout << "Evil! Host name too long!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
else
strcpy( szHostName, tempHostNameStr .c_str() );
It looks like you are doing this copy, however, because you are using a call
that wants a char* and you have a std::string. std::string has the c_str()
that returns a pointer to a c-style string (null terminated char array). It
is const, however, meaning you can't change it.
SomeNetworkFunc tion( tempHostNameStr .c_str() );
A lot of times some calls won't be const correct. That is, they will ask
for a char* although they don't change the contents and really should be
const char*. In these cases it is *usually* safe to do a const_cast to
throw away the constantness of the c_str() but you have to be 1000% sure
that the function won't try to change the string.
SomeNetworkFunc tion( cost_cast<char* >( tempHostNameStr .c_str() );
HTH
Also, of course, remember to
#include <string>
Thanks for all your answers I appriciate your fast respond time:) i

Standard headers are permitted to include other standard headers, but
there are no requirements that any particular standard header includes
any other particular standard header.
If you rely on the fact that in your particular standard library
implementation, header <abcincludes header <xyz>, then you might find
your code does not compile when you change to a different compiler or
standard library implementation. To avoid this problem, whenever you
use a standard library component, always explicitly include the header
that declares it. std::cout is declared in <iostream>. If you use
std::cout, #include <iostream>. std::string is declared in <string>. If
you use std::string, #include <string>. That way, your code will always
work, regardless of what the standard library implementation you are
using that day does in terms of standard headers including other
standard headers.
As a side issue, I'd be somewhat surprised if <iostreaminclud ed
<string>, though it is not forbidden. But anyway, as I said above, even
if it does that in your implementation, you should not rely on it.

Each standard header is required to define certain names. Any reasonable
reference guide will tell you which names must be defined by each of the
standard headers. Standard headers are also allowed, but not required
to, define other names, since some other names are often needed in order
for the definitions of the required names to make sense. But having
found that some standard header defines a name that it's not required to
define, you cannot conclude that it also defines all the other names
defined in the header that's required to define that name. So, for
example, if <iostreamhappen s to provide the definition of
std::basic_stri ng, you can't assume that it also provides the name
std::string.
In general, when you use any name from the standard library, include the
header that's required to define it.

Hi, what is the correct way of converting contents of a <string> to
lowercase?
There are no methods of <string> class to do this so I fallback on
strlwr().
But the c_str() method returns a const pointer which cannot be used
with strlwr() as it does the conversion inplace. So, I use the
following logic of copying the contents to a dynamically allocated
char* array and then doing the conversion:
