convert const char to std::string

[RedSonja]

After decades of fun we now have to stop using MFC in the project. How do I get this to work? I want a simple solution, because I have this about 1000 times in the code. I tried those answers which seemed obvious to me, but it does not compile. const char CODE_N = 'N'; string SK::getCode() const // was CString { return CODE_N; } 1>..\path\SK.cpp(1423) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const char' to 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>'

Check this article[^], things will be much clearer afterwards.

Thankyou for your quick reply. I realise I had hit on one of the few const char definitions which only has one character. Those with more than one worked fine the way it was.
