So basically I want to do something similar to:
Where current file is a certain .txt file containing co-ordinates for my game, I just want to add the .saved_game extension to the text file so LPSTR new_file = all the above ^^ How would I do this since my g++ compiler isn't liking the type of strings im using. It just crashes here and says that there is a stack error on strcpy()? note current_file & new_file are LONG * string -> LPSTR How could I do this? Add .saved_game extension to the current_file? |

Does strcpy take that type as input? |

Yes sir, but don't tell me "the pre-defined parameters are char* ". I know this, if you could give me some way I can get around that or some alternative that would be much appreciated. I haven't really tried anything else so I couldn't tell you anything more. But please, if you will, some "bypass" would be greatly appreciated. |

You might be looking for wcstombs (converts wide-character strings to multi-byte character strings). |

Isn't this the same as just passing the platform encoding as multi-byte characters in the project settings which I already have it set. Doesn't that eliminate the need for this function? |
