Objective C ==> NSString to char[]?

You can use the -NSString UTF8String method to get a C string of your NSString. Then, you can use strncpy(DATA. USERNAME, mystring UTF8String, 32) to copy that string into the structure.

Also, if you need USERNAME to be null terminated, add DATA. USERNAME31 = '\0'; – cobbal Dec 23 '10 at 4:59 @cobbal: Good point, missed that. – chpwn Dec 24 '10 at 6:03 @cobbal ehrm, what if the string is not exactly 30 characters in length?

You can get memory crap appended to it. – WTP Jun 16 '11 at 12:09 @WTP If it's a null terminated string you're after, then it doesn't matter what comes after the \0. "Foo\0" is equivalent to "Foo\0randomstuff\0".

– cobbal Jun 16 '11 at 13:35 @cobbal I know that, but you are expecting the string to be exactly 30 bytes (hence DATA. USERNAME31 = '\0';). The crap will be between the end of the string and the \0.

You first need to know what encoding is expected. NSString can generate bytes in a wide range of encodings. Then you pass a pointer to the USERNAME array to getCString:maxLength:encoding:.

So, for example, if you want to copy the contents of the NSString myCocoaString as UTF-8 into USERNAME field of a DATA struct called myData, you'd do: BOOL success = myCocoaString getCString:myData. USERNAME maxLength:32 encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding; NSLog(@"Was %@ to store string contents in USERNAME! ", success?

@"able" : @"not able").

The CString methods of NSString are largely deprecated. Use the UTF8String methods instead. – bbum Dec 23 '10 at 9:28.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
