C++ const char conversion

Comment:

hey guys, can anyone tell me why my code won't work? i think it is because i need to convert my string to const char. i get this error. [error] cannot convert `std::string' to `const char*' in initialization [/error] my code is below [code] #include <windows.h> #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { string str; cin >> str; const char *file = str, *hide = "test.txt"; CopyFile(file, hide, true); cin.get(); return 0; } [/code] djas

If I'm not wrong, change this line to read: const char *file = str.c_str(); This method returns a pointer to a string.
