Projects Programming

I am running the arduino GSM shield and the cellnumber needs to be in Char format.

the issue is I an receiving that information from an ethernet shield in String format.

How can i convert the two.

char(X) does not work, nor does leaving it in string format.

Thanks

char buf[30];
your_string.toCharArray(buf, sizeof(buf));

Best advice would be to quit doing that. The String class is great for one thing - fragmenting memory. You don't have enough of it to start with.
