Hi
I have
char buffer[128] = "jackson";
how can I get the same effect by
string name = "jackson";
char buffer[128] = name; //will not work
I tried
conat_cast<char *(name.c_str()) ;
which fails
thanks 6 69853

Assignment doesn't work with c-strings. C strings are a different
animal from the nice C++ string class. You need to use strcpy, to copy
data from name.c_str() into your buffer. Look here
( http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/cstring/) for more info on functions to
deal with c strings. Also google "c strings" for more info.

Hi,
c_str() returns a conat char* as you probably know. You should perhaps
(re-)consider why you need a char buffer[128].

Sure won't, that tries to assign the address of the string object
named "name" to the char array named "buffer". Nonsensical, probably
won't even compile. If it does compile it will probably get you a
memory protection error of some sort.
You need to copy the contents from one place to another:
strcpy(buffer, name.c_str());

He's not attempting assignment here (which of course doesn't work with
any array type), but rather initialization.
The rules for initializing an array of char include (C99):
[#14] An array of character type may be initialized by a
character string literal, optionally enclosed in braces.
Successive characters of the character string literal
(including the terminating null character if there is room
or if the array is of unknown size) initialize the elements
of the array.
Clearly, the pointer returned by a call to c_str() is not a character
string literal.

Better would be to use a vector<char>.
vector<charbuff er(name.begin() , name.end());
buffer.push_bac k('\0');
You can now access the contiguous data either as a vector, or if you
need to pass it to a legacy API expecting a non-const char*, you can
pass &buffer[0].

u can try this :
strncpy(buffer, name , sizeof(buffer)-1); This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi there!
I've been having a lot of difficult trying to figure out a way to convert
a terminated char array to a system::string for use in Visual C++ .NET
2003.
This is necessary because I have some legcay C code that needs to process
a string taken from a textbox, then I need to re-display the string as the
textbox->Text. I easily found how to convert from system::string to char
but I can't figure out how to go the other way!!
