How to #include <string> in C code

[Vaclav_]

I have a sample code which uses C++ string. I understand that if I #include "x.cpp" file the compiler will compile it as C++ , however I am getting error just trying to #include in my main.c or my test.cpp file - "string" file not found. How can I fix this? I could just analyze the sample code and manually convert it to "c" code, but would prefer machine to do the dirty work instead. Thanks for your help. Vaclav

Check the include directory settings in your project. Or better still use the C library version, string.h.

C programs simply cannot use the C++ string class.
