So, I have two types at the moment:
const unsigned char* unencrypted_data_char;
string unencrypted_data;
I'm attempting to perform a simple conversion of data from one to the other (string -> const unsigned char*)
As a result, I have the following:
strcpy((unencrypted_data_char),(unencrypted_data.c_str()));
However, I'm receiving the error:
error C2664: 'strcpy' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const unsigned char *' to 'char *'
Any advise? I thought using reinterpret_cast would help, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
