LPSTR or something like that

[Krauze]

void getPath(LPSTR lpszPath)
{
CFile file;
char pbuf[512];
...
file.Read(pbuf, size);
// here I wanna copy the first n chars of pbuf into lpszPath
}

So what can I do to manage it? Maybe what has confused me is the different string data types....

It is the same as if you were dealing with char* ! Have the habit of discovering what the definition of an unknwon type to you is. In this case you'll find it's just made from a typedef !

typedef CHAR *LPSTR;

LPSTR is a char*

typedef char* PSTR, *LPSTR;

using namespace::std;

void getPath(LPSTR lpszPath, int max)
{
	char pbuf[512];

	LPCTSTR lpszFileName = _T("1.txt");
	CFile mFile(lpszFileName, CFile::modeRead | CFile::shareCompat);
	if(mFile.GetLength() < 2)
		return;

	mFile.Read(pbuf, 500);
	mFile.Close();
	memcpy(lpszPath, pbuf, 500);
}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	LPSTR lpstr = new char[2000];
	memset(lpstr, 0, 2000);
	getPath(lpstr, 2000);
	return 0;
}
