How to convert string into PCHAR?

Hi All
I want to convert string into PCHAR.
How can I do that?
Please help..

Thanks
Ketu

If it's a null terminated char string, you do nothing. If it's a std::string, then use the c_str() method.

PCHAR is just a typedef for "char *".

I can't find any reference to this PCHAR that isn't Delphi Pascal. Do you just mean pointer to char, or how have you defined PCHAR?

Hi
This is my codde
iResultCompare=ldap_compare_s(ld,strDN.c_str,vAttT ypeFromFile_m[iCntAtt].c_str(),vAllAttValFromFile_m[iCntAtt][iCntVal].c_str());

and error is

error C2664: 'ldap_compare_s' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char *(void) const' to 'const char *'
There is no context in which this conversion is possible

i got it...
I forgot to put () after c_str
thanks a lot :-)

Damn, at least try learn the language a little bit more before posting VERY basic question to a forum

Questions that concern understanding of compiler messages are NOT very basic... they are not basic at all.
