Thread: Need help with small code change

I'm trying to rewrite another persons code and got stuck on this part.
I need to change this part and not have "s" as a pointer.

Code:

char tmp[100];
unsigned char *s;

s = (unsigned char *)tmp;

while (*s)
  {
  char c;
  c= *s++;
  }

It was a while ago that I wrote c-code, so is there someone who can help me?

I'm not sure what's being done but gave it a shot... Would this work/do the same for example?

Code:

char tmp[100];
unsigned char s;

for (i=0;i<strlen(tmp);i++)
  {
  char c;
  s = (unsigned char)tmp[i];
  c = s;
  }

What are you trying to do?

Solved. (Got help testing it from a friend that had VS installed. I don't have it on this computer) This works the same:

Code:

char tmp[100];
int i;
for (i=0;i<strlen(tmp);i++)
{
char c;
c = (unsigned char)tmp[i];
}

It was small pieces of a password encryption function. I needed to rewrite it in C#, but wasn't sure about how that small part worked.
