Hi
How can i make my CString "A" fit into a char variable ?

char* arr;

arr = myCString.GetString();

this converts the cstring to a char array ...

Thanks again

Nope but you should use the .GetBuffer()
that is what i think they ment ...


Thanks anyway

Do you want to get the complete string or only a character? For the complete string take a look at the operator 'LPCTSTR', for a character, use the 'GetAt()' function...

There is no such function 'GetString()' for the class 'CString'...

A char variable holds a single byte. You can't make a CString "fit" in a char. As asked, the question doesn't really make sense.

Actually, in VC.Net, CString (which is a CSimpleStringT) does have GetString function.
