Thread: problem with strcat

Hello im kinda new with C++ and im trying to have a program that reads in a keyboard press while the programs continues to run. i seem to have that part of it ok but im trying to create a string with each new key pressed but i get a error that i cant seem to get around. Any help would be good

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <ctype.h>    //please do not worrry about all these headers 
#include <cstring>	  // i have been trying different commands
#include <stdio.h>

using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
	char string[256];
	int kb;
	while(kb!= 27)
	{
	if (_kbhit())
		{
		kb =_getch();
		_putch(kb);
		if (kb != 13)
		{
			string[0] = '\0';
			char c = char(kb);
			strcat(string, c);  // problem is here. i get a error which is 
								//" cannot convert parameter 2 from 'char' to 'const char *'"
		}
		}
	}
}
