String Error!!

Hi,
In the below code I've copied the value of a string variable into "store" (which is Char(50).
When I print the value of store, it crashes!!!
please can someone tell me how to store from string to char and print the value of char!!
thanks
John

Code:
==============================================
strcpy(store,ret.c_str());
printf("%s",store);
=============================================

Code:

---

#include <string>
#include <cstdio>



int main(){

        char cstr[50] = {0};

        std::string str("Hello World\n");

        strcpy(cstr,str.c_str());

        printf(cstr);
       
        return 0;
}

You have to end a string of characters with a NULL. Fordy initialized all elements in the array to NULL. That works too.

A string object does not have a NULL by default. In fact, a string object could contain more than just characters.

I believe it does if you access it via c_str(), as in the example.

Okay. Good point.

John Bosko : post some more code to enable us to debug this one.
