Putting something into a string...

[SteveCRM]

when I do this:

board[x][y]="";

i get this error:

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'char [1]' to 'char'
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast

How do I correctly assign somethng to a string? :confused:

You cant do it like that.

Here is the code:

strcpy(board[x][y], "");

hope that helps

What is the definition for the board?

You can't randomly copy things into a string, as you need to allocate a buffer first, since in C, strings are only arrays of single characters. You can use the string class from the STL, but for a lot of things it's just as easy to use the C-style methods.
