How to convert a string literal to unsigned char array in visual c++

Question

How to convert a string to Unsigned char in c++...

I have,

unsigned char m_Test[8];

I want to assign a string \"Hello world\"

Answer 1

string uInput;
cout << "Enter message" << endl;
getline(cin, uInput);

I'm adding 1 here because in c strings we have '\0' at the end

unsigned char dataS[uInput.size()+1];
strcpy(reinterpret_cast(dataS), uInput.c_str());

I think this example will help others more in the future.
