How to convert cstrint to char*

hi i want a to convert cstring variable contents into char *;


how can i convert it, actually problem is that cstring variable is of textbox n i want to pass the contents to a function which takes parameters as char *.



Thanks!!!

 

could you give me a snippet plz. i am working on windows ce actually

 

getbuffer does'nt work , i get only the first character of string not the whole string, could there be any problem due to character set in windows ce?

 

i am using microsoft embedded c++ , compiler
n no probs with .(dot).

 

i tried but getbuffer() only gives me the first character of the string not the whole string

 

look i have this problem

Code:

int let;
 CString browse_file_name = " \\system\\texFile.TXT";

const char * argument = browse_file_name.Getbuffer(browse_file_name.GetLength());

FILE * file = fopen(argument,"r");
	if(!file)
	{
		let = GetLastError();
		MessageBox(_T("ERROR! file not found ..."));
		exit(0);
	}
	else
		MessageBox(_T("OK File found ..."));

now the thing is that the variable argument does not get the whole path , just "\" only....
please help

i am using microsoft embedded vc++ compiler.

 

yes i am using the GetBuffer(); earlier that was a typing mistake,,


still not getting the right output..., r u getting the whole string in the char * argument???

 

well god knows what's wrong then.......
but i'll tell you it's not that simple i have found several queries similar to mine , but neither of the solutions provided there are useful.


anyways thanks for your time

 

here is the correct solution use this version of fopen

Code:

int let;
	UpdateData();

	const wchar_t  * g_application_path  = (LPCTSTR) m_browse_file;

	FILE * file = _tfopen(g_application_path ,_T("rb"));

	if(!file)
	{
		let = GetLastError();
		MessageBox(_T("ERROR! file not found ..."));
		exit(0);
	}
	else
		MessageBox(_T("OK File found ..."));

just wanted to help if any one had similar problem
