string to char*

[hectorDUQUE]

hi guys,
i am getting problems trying to convert a c++ basic string to a char * (C languaje).

error: cannot convert ‘std::string’ to ‘char*’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘void hD_readIniFile(char*, map_group_type&, map_groupFN_type&)’

  string fn_ch(*cur_edge);
  hD_readIniFile(fn_ch, groupOfNumbers, groupsFN);

is there a function to convert this ?

thanks in advance

hector

  string fn_ch( *cur_edge );
  hD_readIniFile( fn_ch[b].c_str()[/b], groupOfNumbers, groupsFN );

Don't post the same question in multiple forums.

Is it really char* (the string can be modified), or can you make it const char *.

Unless it is const char *, then cpjust's answer is closer, but still won't work.
