char Value[] = variable;

that is not legal C++. the easiest way to do this is with a string class of some kind:

CString Value = variable;

or

std::string Value = variable;

or, if you have to use a char array:

int iLen = strlen(variable);
char Value = new char [ iLen + 1 ];
strcpy(Value, variable);
Value[iLen] = 0;

...

delete [] Value;

O.K ... Thanx for the response ... But why do I always get this error, I mean I am using:

using namespace std;

error C2065: 'CString' : undeclared identifier

:confused::sigh:

CString is not the STL std::string class. it comes from MFC.

first:Programm3r has made a mistake here that he assigned a value var to a pointer. second: i think it may be char value[]; &value[0] = variable; thanks for your reply
