I think he means, "how do you convert an NSString to a C-string?" But
I could be wrong... :)

Hi There,
Is there anyway to pass a C string from a Obj-C class to a C
function as an
argument? I know that I can use pointers to the string but it gets
a bit
messy as I am using pointers in the C function to manipulate the
string. I
also could put it in C++ and it would work but I'm trying to avoid
that. I
want a function that is portable and so it can't be written in Obj-C.
I'm sorry if this is really basic but I don't normally use C very
much.
Unfortunately, a "C string" is, by definition, a pointer to a NUL
terminated array of characters; they are *always* passed as a pointer.
What are you doing to the string that requires complex pointer
manipulation? Perhaps a better way can be found.
