Problem: How to convert CString into const char * in C++ MFC

Question

How do I convert CString into const char *? I have tried everything found on the internet but I still cant convert them.

Please help.

Thank you.

Answer 1

First : define char *inputString; in your_file.h

Second : define in yourFile.cpp : CString MyString;

MyString = "Place here whatever you want";

inputString = new char[MyString.GetLength()];
inputString = MyString.GetBuffer(MyString.GetLength());

The last two sentences convert a CString variable to a char*; but be carefull, with CString you can hold millons of charcteres but with char* no. You have to define the size of your char* varible.
