    alternate to string.data()

    I was having an error, the ilLoadImage function wont take a const char*, only a char*, so i fixed it like this. Is there another way to do it? I removed all the other stuff from the funtion so you can read it easily.

    Code:
    unsigned int cRenderEngine::LoadTexture(string path, short size) {
    
    	--code--
    
    	char * temp = new char[path.length()];
    	for(int i = 0; i < path.length(); i++)
    		temp[i] = path[i];	
    	ilLoadImage(temp);
    
    	--code--
    
    }

    Use strcpy in <cstdlib>
    Code:
    char* temp = new char[path.length() + 1];
    strcpy(temp, path.c_str());
    ilLoadImage(temp);
    delete [] temp;
