Casting values in C/C++

I am trying to figure out how to store numbers (bytes, ints, longs...) in a string or an array of chars, and read them back out again. For instance, if I can convert a long value into an array of 4 bytes, I suppose I could store the 4 bytes somewhere in an array of chars (string[]) such that string to string[i+4] could be read to reproduce the original long value. How would I do this programmatically in C/C++? ...Stip

K4W4H33's example shows you how you should do it. (At least, that's how I usually do it).
And I agree with him, you will have a steep learning curve learning winsock unless you really grasp the wonderful world of pointers and type casts in C/C++.
