Hi
I am having a problem to copy a LPCSTR string to the same type variable...
I have allready tried
Either function failed to work... When the programme came to the function it failed.Code:LPCSTR lpStringOne; LPCSTR lpStringTwo; lpStringOne = lpStringTwo; wsprintf(lpStringOne, "%s", lpStringTwo); strcpy(lpStringOne, lpStringTwo);
Which function shall I use in case of LPCSTR?
Thx for responses
Well they're just pointers (you really need to understand "Hungarian Notation" as used by Microsoft to understand that).
Somewhere along the line, you need to make those pointer point to a real string of some sort, or some actual space to store a string.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
That's probably because an LPCSTR is nothing more than a "const char*". You cannot write to it for two reasons: You will need a real array of chars and you will need a non-const pointer to it to use strcpy or sprintf.I am having a problem to copy a LPCSTR string to the same type variable...

She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
try this -
Code:LPCSTR lpStringOne; LPCSTR lpStringTwo; lpStringTwo = (LPCSTR)malloc(512); lpStringOne = lpStringTwo; wsprintf(lpStringOne, "%s", lpStringTwo); strcpy(lpStringOne, lpStringTwo); free(lpStringTwo);
