    toupper() for strings?

    I searched the board, to no avail. Is there a function which will convert a string of chars to uppercase? I tried creating my own function... but i'm pretty sure i'm going about it the wrong way...

    I tried using a subscript on the pszText variable, but seeing as i'm using a refrence, it doesn't work, and I don't want to return a pointer to a character array either. Here's my messed up code

    Code:
    void MakeStringUpper(char &pszText)
    {
    	for (int i = 0; i <= strlen((char *)pszText); i++)
    	{
    		strcat(&pszText + (sizeof(char) * i), toupper(&pszText + (sizeof(char) * i)));
    	}
    	return;
    }

    PHP Code:
    #include <stdio.h>

    int main() {
      
    char hemp[30] = "this is A TEST";
      
    toUpperString(hemp);
      
    printf("%s",hemp);


    }

    void toUpperString (char temp) {
      while (*
    temp) {
        if (
    islower(*temp)) *temp toupper(*temp);
        
    temp++;

    }


    return;

    compiled and tested.

    there is a function in string.h to do it:

    char *strupr(char *s);

    There might be in your compiler, but I don't believe it's in the ANSI standard, so not everyone will have it.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
