Trouble Wth Ut_string

[doc]

i'm having a little trouble getting this to compile:

UT_String tempVarName="";

evalString(tempVarName,temp_var_names.getToken(), &tempVarNameIndex,0,0);

printf("tempVarName=%s\n",tempVarName());

here's the error I get:

error: no match for call to `(UT_String) ()

but the doxygen pages list it as valid:

operator char * ()

Can somebody point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

printf() doesn't know to explicitly cast the UT_String to a (const char *), so you have to do the cast youself.

printf("%s", (const char *)tempVarName);

Oh, and you don't want to be calling the object (strip off the parentheses).

Whoo hooo, I'm finally an initiate!

(Edit: Now with the new look, maybe you should bump up the requirements and make me a Peon again).

printf("%s", (const char *)tempVarName);

thanks crunch, that did the trick
