I really need some simply code to convert an AnsiString to a *char...

[KenWong]

Im Stuck, I've been writing this little program for windows and I'm at a loss - If you can tell me in PLAIN ENGLISH with some good source code, how to make this conversion I'll give you a copy of this program when it's done, I know the the class Ansistring has a method called c_str that gives back the AnsiString as Null terminated c-string but I don't know how to use methods in Classes!!, whats the Syntax !! help...<br>

<br>

thanks,<br>

I admit, I'm dense, I'm not certain what you mean. I use .c-str() alot in classes. I haven't had a problem with it. For example,<br>
<br>
ofstream ProdFile;<br>
ProdFile.open(&quot;AFile.Txt&quot;, ios:ut);<br>
AnsiString thingy = &quot;something&quot;;<br>
ProdFile &lt;&lt; thingy.c_str() &lt;&lt; endl; // streams can't use AnsiString<br>
ProdFile.close();<br>
<br>
Are you trying to create a class that passes a string? Are you having problems with methods in general? Are you looking for the specific syntax for c_str? Let us (me) know some more specifics and we'll (I'll) see what can be done.<br>
