I have a function
ClassA::FuncA(const char *filePath)
and want to copy this const char string* to a char*!
My solution:
char *argv[2];
int length = strlen(filePath);
argv[1] = new char(length +1);
strncpy(argv[1], filePath, length);
after this I have in argv[1] the desired chars but also some other undefined chars!
filePath:
"C:\Users\userA\Parameter.xmlþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþîþKŸQyá•"
Whats wrong here? The length with strlen is OK!
Answer
Like so:
argv[1] = new char[length +1](); // () to value-initialize the array
Your version:
argv[1] = new char(length +1);
only allocates a single char and value-initializes it to length+1.
