CString into Bytes

[RocketMan]

Hi all,

Im quite new to C++ and im trying to convert a CString into a byte - or get my byte out of the CString. I have tried doing it the C way via typecasting and that does not work. I have had a look at msdn and cant find a simlar example.

Could somebody give me some help.

Cheers,

Rocketman.

How to: Convert Between Various String Types

You do realize that a CString holds more than one value, right? It's kinda like an array holding x-numbers of bytes. Basicly, you want to convert n*B to just 1*B, without even knowing n. To me, that sounds an awful lot like a hash-function! (I.e. completely irreversible)

I do realize I might be misinterpreting Your question. When You write "convert a CString into a byte", do you mean "into a byte", or do you mean that each cell should be one byte?

I haven't used MFC for many years, but I'm pretty sure this should work:

CString str = "Hello World";
char c = str[0];

CString has LPCSTR overloaded for this as well if my memory serves me right.
