how do i convert an AnsiString to a basic_string

[holdingprice]

I am writting the contents of edit boxes to a text file but can not convert the contents of the edit box(an ansiString) to a basic_string. I need to do this to use the cout statement with the ofstream.

Anyone got any ideas, they are a great help!

sorry i meant to say &quot;I need do this to use the << opperator with the ofstream&quot; not &quot;cout statement&quot;

Use

MyStream << MyAnsiString.c_str();

or

std::string MyStdStr = MyAnsiString.c_str();
MyStream << MyStdStr;
