I have an error in my program: "could not convert from string to char*". How do I perform this conversion?
We can convert String to char in java using charAt() method of String class. The charAt() method returns a single character only. To get all characters, you can use loop.
This last part of the definition is important: all C-strings are char arrays, but not all char arrays are c-strings. C-strings of this form are called “string literals“: const char * str = "This is a string literal.
char* means a pointer to a character. In C strings are an array of characters terminated by the null character.
char* is a pointer to a character. char is a character. A string is not a character. A string is a sequence of characters.
If you can settle for a const char*
, you just need to call the c_str()
method on it:
const char *mycharp = mystring.c_str();
If you really need a modifiable char*
, you will need to make a copy of the string's buffer. A vector
is an ideal way of handling this for you:
std::vector<char> v(mystring.length() + 1); std::strcpy(&v[0], mystring.c_str()); char* pc = &v[0];
