Hi Walter/all,

Can you tell me what the error is below.  Error message reads "need explicit cast to convert from int to *char". The line of the bug is marked by      ***** Problem this line *****

Thanks

Paul





/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------

void correct_temp(char *old_temp, char *new_temp,int array_size)
{
char *old_temp_ptr,*new_temp_ptr;
int  array_ctr = 0;

old_temp_ptr = old_temp;
new_temp_ptr = new_temp;

while( array_ctr < array_size)
{

old_temp_ptr++;
array_ctr++;

{

else

new_temp_ptr++;
old_temp_ptr++;
}
}
}

Replace "\"" with '"' and it should work.

Hi Walter,
It Worked thanks, (it compiled anyway) im a bit
confused why '"' is equal to "\"" to be honest.  Can
you explain.

Thanks

The first is a character literal, the second is a string literal. You're going to need a good reference book on C++, check out some on www.digitalmars.com/bibliography.html
