unsigned char, char, CString

[Anonymous]

Hi! I have to encrypt a string of text. My text is a CString. The function I call is this:

encrypt(const unsigned char* in, unsigned char* out, size_t n)

I have this:

CString strOutput, strInput = "hello world";
int len = strInput.GetLength();
unsigned char *buf = new unsigned char[len];
memset(buf, 0, len);
strcpy(buf, strInput); // !!!! This does not compile
encrypt(buf, buf, len);
strOutput = buf;
delete [] buf;

Can anyone tell me how to convert from a CString to a unsigned char *?

try this: sprintf(buf,"%s",strInput); If it's broken, I probably did it bdiamond

Hello! or try this: strcpy(buf, (LPCTSTR)strInput); :)
