Getpas function

[campebell2004]

Hi i have to do a VERY basic encryption on a password that is read from a text file. It is read into an array and i encrypted it with an XOR however i now need to compare this encrypted password to one entered with the getpass function and stored and accessible by a pointer to it. So i need to work out a way of getting to this password that is entered so i can apply the same encryption to it so i can compare the two encrypted passwords with strcmp.

Any ideas?

Thanks Mark

I have had an idea if i could covert the pointer with the password in into a array then i could encrypt that. BUT i have no idea to to covert the pointer into an array!

Why not just use an array in the first place? Make an array, "password", and then scan their password into it. Then just use your encryption function on that array and strcmp it with the one that you get from the file.
