I was wondering if anyone knew how to convert the strings Microsoft Visual C++ uses (the cstring type) into normal char arrays for manipulation with strcat and such... This may be a very stupid question but I'd like to know... Thanks = )

This appears to work -
Code:#include <iostream> #include <cstring> #include <afx.h> using namespace std; int main() { CString s = "foo"; strcat(s.GetBuffer(10),"bar"); cout << (LPCTSTR)s; return 0; }

But it doesn't seem to work for me =(
How doesn't it work?

Since your question was about CString, I assumed that you already had an MFC app. If you want the code to work then you'll have to select Project/Settings/General and change the setting in the combo box that presently has "Not Using MFC" in it.
