How do I convert a C++ string to a char array?

It seems that it is not as easy as I have thought...

How does one convert a string to a char array?

This is what I have:

char cFilm[100];
string sFilm;

GetDlgItemText(Dialog, DIALOG_EDIT_BOX_NAME, cFilm, 100); //(this works)
sFilm = cFilm; //(this works too)
cFilm = sFilm; //(this does not work) 

Thank you!

Use strcpy() function:
strcpy(cFilm,sFilm.c_str());

Thank you Null, that worked perfectly as intended!

But now I stumbled upon another issue that was not correctly addressed in my first post... It appears that simply assigning sFilm = cFilm does not at all bring any of the content within cFilm into sFilm. What function would you suggest that I use to assign a char array to string?

It appears that simply assigning sFilm = cFilm does not at all bring any of the content within cFilm into sFilm.

It certainly does:

char cFilm[100];
strcpy(cFilm, "Some string data");

string sFilm = "BAD BAD BAD";

sFilm = cFilm;

cout << sFilm;  // prints "Some string data"

Silly me... It appears I've placed my lines in the wrong order... Thank you for clarifying the validity of the assignment, Disch!
