How to convert a string to a character array?

I am having some problem here.
let' say that

string c="Hello";
char a[5];

how can i convert the string to a character array? Urgent :D

you could increment your string and place all individually indexed location of the string into each individual location of the character array. you could do it with one loop, a string, and a char array. i unfortunatly do not recall any premade function to do this instantly.

The string class contains a function that returns the string as a character array:

Code:

---

string c="Hello";
strcat(a, c.c_str());  // the character array a will now contain "Hello"

---

thank you

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::string str1 = "Hello";
    char str2[str1.length() + 1];
    //we can't just use length that would result in not null terminating
    std::strcpy(str2,str1.c_str());
   
    std::cout<<"str1.length() = "<<str1.length()<<std::endl;//here is proof :)
    std::cout<<"str1 = "<<str1<<std::endl;
    std::cout<<"str2 = "<<str2<<std::endl;
   
    std::cin.get();
    return 0;
}
