LPCSTR and CHARS
January 01, 2003 07:48 PM
I have a list of chars (a total of 23 if you''re interested) and I want to place them neatly into a LPCSTR. How can I do this? Oh, in case it''s relevant, the chars are mostly characters. However, there are two numbers.
Any ideas?
Come on, you guys are smarter than me... well, if you''re not, I''m stuffed.

An LPCSTR is a long pointer to a CString, I believe. Therefore, I think you have to create a CString object and initialize it with your 23 characters. You can probably do something like
LPCSTR pString = new CString(TCHAR("My long string here"));
For more info, go to msdn.microsoft.com and search for CString and/or LPCSTR
LPCSTR pString = new CString(TCHAR("My long string here"));

an LPCSTR is MS''s way of saying long pointer to a constant string. a string that is not meant to be modified, i.e., read-only.

Read only? Hmm... oh well. Never caused me problems before. Thanks for the help peoples...!

CHAR is same as char but hurts the eyes more to read...
LPCTSTR is a "long pointer to a constant tchar " or in other words a const char *.
