/prog/ - Read line from .txt, store in char*

Name: Anonymous 2010-05-02 13:51

This! Is! C++!
Is this impossible?
I'm only able to store stuff in strings. But strings cannot be converted to char*, only const char*. And const char* can't be used in place of char*.

Can't I just do something like getline(char* text,256,' ')? Or will have I have to copy data from a string into a char*?

Forget it, it's NP-complete.

Guess what, I can do it in C, and that means that you should be able to do it in a superset of it (namespaces technicalities aside).

Sepples isn't a superset of C.

// assuming s is the String

char* char_s = new char[(s.length()+1)];

// char* char_s = (char*)malloc( sizeof(char)*(s.length()+1) );

strcpy(char_s, s.c_str());

I was assuming everyone would be "TROLOLO NOOB WANTS TO PROG!"
So I didn't bother checking back often, I just tried and failed for a good while, eventually I came to the solution you provided.
So a bit late, but still, if you're reading, thanks anyway!

Hey fuckass, your question was already answered in >>3. How about you look up that function name, huh?

Can't you just use gets?
