Converting CString to char*

Please let me know what to do

Ok I will try. What you need to do is read the documentation.[^]

Also reading this might help as well.[^]

In my experience not all authors match every reader. So if you find reading those sources don't supply your need 100% keep looking for more. The bottom line is what you need to do is read and study rather than type code and forum messages.

In addition to super_ttd's reply...

If you must use fopen(), then you should probably use a CStringA.

CString has a generic internal character type, depending on whether
UNICODE or _UNICODE is defined.

If you want to use the generic text CString, then it will pair nicely
with the generic text version of fopen(), which is _tfopen().

GetModuleFileName(NULL,(LPWCH)buffer,MAX_PATH);

Bad cast!! GetModuleFileName takes a LPTSTR as its second parameter.
Your buffer, therefore, should be a TCHAR type, not char.

Mind your types.....if you need a cast to get something to compile, look at WHY.

Mark

There a various ways:
1)

CString str = "filename";<br /><br />char charPtr[100];<br />sprintf(charPtr, "%s", str);

2)

CString str = "filename";<br />char* charPtr = str.GetBuffer(str.GetLength());
