            Well, if you are referring to your previous answer in this thread it could be the fact that the code you wrote will generate a compile time error. You're suggesting assigning a 'const char*' to a 'char'.;) On the other hand the answer should give the one asking the question the idea anyway, so I don't think it deserved to be rated '1'. I'll rate it up for you a little bit, if you want. :cool: -- Roger

                toxcct wrote: CString str = "Hello World"; char* pc; strcpy(pc, (LPCTSTR)str); While I understand the intent of your code, there are two things wrong with it. First is that no memory has been allocated to pc. Second, the cast in strcpy() is not needed.

                  Not meaning to be picky, but that code won't work either as you're copying to a pointer that doesn't point to anything. But that's not the point. Your original "look at the other threads" comment was valid, which is why I voted it up earlier :]

I really don't see why i continue awering/helping people that don't take 1 minute of their time to see if their question is not already on the last 50 ones on the forum ... such behaviors sucks... (and i don't care to be voted down for this... :mad: )

                      I am really sorry Mr. toxcct. Usually i search for article and i search in forum. But this time i didnot find anything in message search (LPCTSTR and LPCSTR string miss match). And its my mistake that i just overlooked the thread below. And i am happy that first reply of those threads posted by Rage helped me. Thanks and Sorry:rose: :)
