Hi all, i know that the function c_str() convert Ansi-String to
chars string, What is the function that do the opposite?

Another question, if i have this string -

char MyString[50] = "abcdefg_ABCDEFG";

Is there one single function that can convert it to Upper-Case
string, like this -

"ABCDEFG_ABCDEFG" ?

Thanks,
Ramy

Just use the AnsiString constructor. Then, the UpperCase() method can be
used to change the case, but note: UpperCase() returns a new, upper-case
version of the string you call the method on. It doesn't change the string
you call the method on.

For example:

char MyString[50] = "abcdefg_ABCDEFG";
AnsiString asMyString(MyString);
AnsiString asMyUpperString = asMyString.UpperCase();

or

AnsiString asMyString("abcdefg_ABCDEFG");
AnsiString asMyUpperString = asMyString.UpperCase();

or

AnsiString asMyUpperstring = AnsiString("abcdefg_ABCDEFG").UpperCase();

or

AnsiString asMyUpperstring(AnsiString("abcdefg_ABCDEFG").UpperCase());

depending on what you want to achieve and what you need to have a copy of.

Thanks, it's working and i can use it, but isn't it possible to
change the string to Upper-Case directly on the original chars
string without having to convert it to Ansi-String first?
