assigning a TCHAR char array to std::string
 |
I want to assign a TCHAR char array to std::string in VC++ 2005, how should i do that? a simple assignment gives error i.e
TCHAR buffer[MAX-1];
std::string data;
//some operation for filling the buffer
data = buffer; //This gives error
Plz help me in doing this operation.
TCHAR buffer[MAX-1];
std::string data;
//some operation for filling the buffer
data = buffer; //This gives error
Plz help me in doing this operation.

UNICODE is the default setting for that compiler so if you didn't turn it off then the compiler is mapping TCHAR into wchar_t. go to Project --> Properties (bottom menu item) --> Configuration Properties --> General then change Character Set option to Not Set. If you really do want UNICODE then you have to use one of the conversion functions to convert wchar_t* to char*

Yep, it looks like you're trying to initialize a narrow string with an array of wide characters. Try using std::wstring instead of std::string.

I'm here to prove you wrong.
