Jun 2, 2022 at 23:59 comment added skittlebiz I'm reiterating previous comments, but really guy @Abalieno? Not including the definition of sampleString? Can this question be archived/removed so that it doesn't appear as a possible solution for people with similar questions as myself just to find a fractured question body? Wasteful of time.

Sep 10, 2012 at 17:54 comment added Abalieno Solved my problem by converting to C++ string: std::string cppstring(samplestring); stringlength = cppstring.size();

Sep 10, 2012 at 15:02 comment added user3458 In C++, char * is not the same as std:string, nor is it same as Java's String or python strings. If you want to understand char *, please start with K&R C - literally read K&R book. Otherwise, stay with std::string - it may keep you safe for a while.

Sep 10, 2012 at 14:41 comment added huseyin tugrul buyukisik string is a char array isnt it? *p gives the first element if it is an array. You need a wrapper class to get size more correctly. I think your array is qwe+NULL
