You were right I needed to used the ".c_str()". Thanks!!

Thanks mitrmkar, you gave the perfect solution, strcat(variable1, variable2.c_str()); works perfectly!! :)

Actually no, I get an error message saying:
"cannot convert from std::string to const char."

The parameters for strcat are: (char*, const char).

Normally if I want to concantinate two strings I would use:

strcat (variable_name, "Constant");

But is there a function that let's me use (variable1, variable2) ?

Any help is welcome. :)

That worked perfectly, thanks!! :)

Thanks, that worked perfectly!! :)

Thanks, it worked like a charm. I should have mentioned that I need the code for enter as well, but I suppose it would be wise to ask for the codes as many keys as possible. Thanks!!
