Hi, I''m working on a very very simple routine to remove any spaces from an char* var and replace them with "_". I wrote this lil'' routine but I get a weird error(Using the free mingw compiler, cause I''m not allowed to install VC++ 6 so I downloaded Dev-C++ 4). har* ReplaceSpace(char* What) { int iTeller; for (iTeller = 0; iTeller < strlen(What); iTeller++) { if (What[iTeller] = " ") What[iTeller] = "_"; } return What; } The error I get is: 86 errorlog.cpp assignment to ''char'' from ''const char*'' lacks a cast Anyone???????

Notice that in C++ (unlike C) when you pass an array to a function it acts like a pointer.

Making the replace function make more sense

Its generally bad practice to allocate memory in a function without also freeing it in that function. Unless you are using a class and the destructor deletes it.
