C++ CString Convert to const char - Overclock.net

**Kamakazi** · 02-10-08

Okay problem at the moment is as such:

Code:

CString exporttext("something");
CString exporttext2("somethingelse");
ofstream font("font.txt");
ofstream background("backcolor.txt");

font.write(exporttext, exporttext.GetLength());
background.write(exporttext2, exporttext2.GetLength());

When i do that I get this error

f:\visual studio 2005\projects\tstest3\tstest3\tstest3dlg.cpp(384) : error C2664: 'std::basic_ostream<_Elem,_Traits>::write' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'CString' to 'const char *'

So how do I convert CString to const char *

I have seen lots of ways to get to LPCTSTR but that doesn't work either.

Hmm, I'm not really big in any language but maybe:

Code:

    string whatyourcompilerwantstobeaconstant = "this is the string with information you're trying to export";
    const string thestringisnowconstant = whatyourcompilerwantstobeaconstant;
    fout<<thestringisnowconstant;
