CString to an array of chars

[Pyropat]

I need to take a word that the user inputed from an edit box and divide it into it's individual letters.
How do I do this?

A couple of ways:

1) if you want the CString in a char array, just use sprintf -

char m_cChar[7];
CString m_sString;

m_sString.Format("TESTING"

sprintf(m_cChar, "%s", m_sString);

Then m_cChar[0] = "T", m_cChar[1] = "E", etc.

2) you can use GetAt if you just want to use the CString you already have -

CString m_sString;

m_sString.Format("TESTING"

Then m_sString.GetAt(0) = "T", m_sString.GetAt(1) = "E", etc

Assume you know how to get the text from the edit box.

Actually, you can read individual character from the CString object using the overloaded [] operator:
[tt][ignore]
CString strText
// Read edit box data
int iLen = strText.GetLength();
for (int i = 0; i < iLen i++)
{
char ch = strText;
...
}

[/ignore][/tt]
You can store the character to a CArray object or a STL vector object.

Didn't know CString had the [] operator, I just learned something. Obviously the easiest way to go. Thanks sflam.
