[xsd-users] Casting xsd:string to const char*

[#MOK BAO REN CLARENCE#]

Hi guys,

Im a newbie to C++  and XSD. Here goes my problem. This is what I am trying to do:

char * featureDataName;
featureDataName = new char[4000];
strcpy(featureDataName, reinterpret_cast<const char*>( i->filename ()).c_str );

i->filename () returns a xsd:string and I am trying to store it into a char * string for further processing in my C++ application.
This is the error I received:
driver.cpp:44: error: invalid cast from type 'const xsd::cxx::tree::string<char, xsd::cxx::tree::simple_type<xsd::cxx::tree::_type> >' to type 'const char*'

Would love any kind help

Regards,
Clarence
