Thanks

wchar_t wtemp[255];
wchar_t* ConvertToWChar(char* text)
{
// Convert to a wchar_t*
size_t origsize = strlen(text) + 1;
const size_t newsize = 100;
size_t convertedChars = 0;
mbstowcs_s(&convertedChars, wtemp, origsize, text, _TRUNCATE);
return wtemp;
}

char mbtemp[255];
char* ConvertToMultiByte(wchar_t* text)
{
size_t i;
wcstombs_s(&i,mbtemp,(size_t)255,text,(size_t)255);
mbtemp[i-1] = '\0';
return mbtemp;
}

search this forum for your answer. using the built in irr string should do what you want, but i personally dont use it so i cannot help with it.

stringw wstr = L"blah";
stringc str = wstr.c_str();
char* cstr = str.c_str();
