So, multisync requires there to be an ip to connect to declared like

I'm trying to make it so the user can input the ip to connect to, but dbGetEntry() only accepts char*. So what I'm asking...is like there a way to convert between the two? Or some other solultion...really bothering me

A simple strcpy or strncpy command will transfer text from char* to char array. The second command limits the number of characters to copy, to prevent overwriting the array.

However, I can also offer you a complete input function which I wrote some time ago in another thread. You can call this function every loop until you detect a return key and it will store the typed input into a char array. Here it is, if you are interested.

Thanks! strncpy works..I used strcpy before, I think and got an error. Your function is extremely useful too! I think I'll make sure I understand every part of it before I use it.
