strcpy() ... problems ...

[daniloa]

Hy I'm developing i MS C++ over the Dialogic C APIs and I face this function (I think that is from C++ not Dialogic).

strcpy();

I'm using this way:

int digitos;
// Dialogic API
if (dx_getdig(pCanal, tptdig, &dig, EV_SYNC) == -1)
{
printf("Erro Pegando Digito ...\n"
strcpy(digitos,""
}
else
{
strcpy(digitos, dig.dg_value);
}


and on the lines where are the strcpy() function when I compile I receive this error messages:

D:\Temp\Testes\Teste4\Teste4.cpp(190) : error C2664: 'strcpy' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char' to 'char *'
Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

Someone knows what have I to do ???

Very Thanks,

You are passing in an int to strcpy. The first argument of strcpy takes a char*. You need to declare:

char *digitos;
digitos = new char[<size>];

Where <size> is the number of characters you are going to copy into digitos plus 1. Here is an example:

// Copy &quot;hello&quot; into digitos
char *digitos;
digitos = new char[6];
strcpy(digitos, &quot;hello&quot;

That's it!
Hope this helps...
