string to char arr c++ code example

Example 1: string to char array c++

std::string myWord = "myWord";
char myArray[myWord.size()+1];//as 1 char space for null is also required
strcpy(myArray, myWord.c_str());

Example 2: convert string to char c++

// "std::string" has a method called "c_str()" that returns a "const char*"
// pointer to its inner memory. You can copy that "const char*" to a variable
// using "strcpy()".

std::string str = "Hello World";
char buffer[50];

strcpy(buffer, str.c_str());

std::cout << buffer;	//Output: Hello World
