We have a team project where we will have to create an application,in c++ that
will encode and decode a text into base64,morse,and HEX.We have many questions.....
1)Will we be able to use some of functions that are built in a library to encode/decode??
2)Are we going to need a StringGrid???
this is the form of our teams program-->

okey donkey ....
I found that there is a library (crypto++) but it needs a skilled programmer....
As for the StringGrid,I didn't mentioned the use of it.It was supposed to be used as an array where I would send the text from the edit box,and every column would be an alphanumeric.But i think that it would take me twice the time to complete the program with a StringGrid so I'm going with a simple array.
The problem now is that I don't know how to put the text in an array....
If I wasn't understandable please ask me what you didn't get(or i didn't give you )
Remember that the old-school way of dealing with strings is to use char arrays, as in C. And underlying string types in modern languages, that's often still what's going on. In C++, there's a function called c_str(). So you might do something to following effect:
Code:int length = inputStr.length(); char* inputArry = inputStr.c_str();
