Convert const char* to char*?

Is there a way to convert or copy a const char* to a char*? Google has failed me here.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm.

strcpy http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/cstring/strcpy.html

const_cast?

strcpy won't work with a const char* , and const_cast seems kind of unreliable.
edit: I mean the strcpy in the source code for a game I'm modding. It has its own version.

Okay let's play 20 questions. Or not. Why don't you post a minimal snippet of code that demonstrates what it is you are attempting to accomplish.

Fine I will write it for you.

Code:

---

char *strcpy(char *dest, const char *src)
{
    int i;
    for(i = 0; src[i] != '\0'; i++)
    {
        dest[i] = src[i];
    }
    dest[i] = '\0';
   
    return dest;
}

My life is now complete.

Lemme guess, it's the result of the c_str() method on one of your strings?

So use it.
Or does it have a completely different signature compared to the ANSI-C strcpy() ?
