Question

I have a WCHAR[]:

WCHAR foo[200];

I want to copy values into it:

if (condition)
{
    foo = L"bar";
}
else 
{
   foo = L"odp";
}

What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

Depending on exactly what you need to do, you could change the type of foo:

const WCHAR *foo;
if (condition)
{
    foo = L"bar";
}
else 
{
   foo = L"odp";
}

This is fine if don’t need to append any more data to foo.
