Thread: little prob with string?

hi all,
i want to convert string like "\x52\x49" to ascii

when i use this code in Turbo C :

Code:

unsigned char test[] = "\x52\x49";
printf("%s",test);

i've gud result is : RI

but when i use in Visual C++ , with m_Input and m_Output are variables from text box

Code:

unsigned char test [] = m_Input;
m_Output = test;

i've error cus it cant convert char to CString.
so how can i fix this prob ?

Also, do you have to use strcpy() or something? If you're using C++ use std::strings.

Use plain char, not unsigned char.

ya i used char test[] , instead unsigned but there still an error that cannot convert from CString to char

ya i tried with strcpy() function but it result m_Input to m_Output , like i told , i want something like if m_Input is "\x52\x49" , m_Output will be "RI" , cus it worked in Turbo C , but not work in VC++
thanx 4 all ur helps!

A CString can be converted to a const char* automatically. If you want a copy of the CString in a C style array, then you need to use strcpy.
