char T[100] = {0};
CString S = "Hello";
strcpy(T, S.GetString());

To add with Maxwell's answer, In your code you used 'char' and not 'char*'.. Try using as Maxwell said or you can allocate memory at runtime with the lenght of CString object and copy the string (but don't forget to release/delete the memory allocated)

What do you really need? I mean, you cannot usually copy the whole CString content to a char variable (it can hold a single character), you need a character array or a pointer to dynamic allocated memory. On the other hand, you probably don't need at a CString object:

const char * pszAlarmStatus;
if(...)
pszAlarmStatus = "HH";
else
pszAlarmStatus = "LL";

that's all. :)
