Ansistring -> cstring, lose a letter?

[jpenguin]

I'm writing an MCF prog, and I need to convert an ansistring to a cstring, but it seems to lose the last letter--

char* S = input->Text.c_str();
   Label1->Caption = S;

Did u try to print the value holded by the variable S?
I dont think it will truncate the character.
Check what value input(variable) is holding

yep, when I print S it dosent matter how many letters I put inn the first string it cuts off the last letter.

I am using Boreland C++ builder, can I send you my build directory?

char* S = input->Text.c_str() ;
Label1->Caption = S;

This is ssuspicious code.

First, the c_str() returns a const char* and this cannot be assign to a char*. So you are getting a compiler error here. That is, your code won't compile. If it won't compile, you can't be running it.

If you are not getting an error, I suggest you get a better C++ compiler.
