Question

I am using MSVC++ 2010 Express, and I would love to know how to convert

BYTE Key[] = {0x50,0x61,0x73,0x73,0x77,0x6F,0x72,0x64};

to “Password” I am having a lot of trouble doing this. 🙁 I will use this knowledge to take things such as…

BYTE Key[] { 0xC2, 0xB3, 0x72, 0x3C, 0xC6, 0xAE, 0xD9, 0xB5, 0x34, 0x3C, 0x53, 0xEE, 0x2F, 0x43, 0x67, 0xCE };

And other various variables and convert them accordingly.

Id like to end up with “Password” stored in a char.

All you are lacking is a null terminator, so after doing this:

char Key_str[(sizeof Key)+1];
memcpy(Key_str,key,sizeof Key);
Key_str[sizeof Key] = '\0';

Key_str will be usable as a regular char * style string.
