_strdate(dateStr)

_strdate(dateStr) is a char * ?? can i convert it to a char[10] ... character array?? any1?

Read up on arrays.

In C++ the name of the array is the address of elment 0. Therefore, this array:

char dateStr [10];
 

has a name dateStr that is the address of dateStr[0]. dateStr[0] is a char so dateStr itself is the address of that char, that is, dateStr is a char*.

hmmm do u mean the dateStr is pointing to the current date?? hmm hmm... btw... is there any ways to store the current date into a character array(no pointer)?? please advise...

It depands:

Is ur programm suposed to find current date or user input the date?


And us weaknessforcats said char array[] is simmiliar to char *pointer so guess what is the answer for ur question.

what i want is assigning the current date to a character array ... something like below :

char dateStr;
char dateJoin[10] = {_strdate(dateStr)};

what i need is assigning the current date to the char dateJoin[10]

Use strcat.

This function appends one string to the end of another.Strings are infact array of chars so this should do what u want.Here is function syntax:

char *strcat(char *dest,const char *src);

Note:Before calling function set on [0] element a string terminator('\0' character) in ur dateJoin array.
