If you have no problem using the standard libraries (#include <string>) you can do it that way:

Code: Select all

wchar_t * someStringW = L"hello world";
std::wstring wstr( someStringW );
std::string dummy( wstr.begin(), wstr.end() );
const irr::c8 * result = dummy.c_str();

You will certainly lose anything which is actually using wchar_t's (for example you will no longer be able to translate it into japanese).

Another thing regarding this post:
Don't *ever* use threadtitles like "Urgent Question!!!!". It makes you look bad. Use a title which tells about the problem (like: How to convert from wchar_t to irr::c8*). And avoid the !!!! and ?? - same reason.

And most importantly: learn using the search button in this forum - i can just bet this question has been asked a lot of times.
