wstring pathStr = L"C:/abc/xyz/example.txt";
LPWSTR path[260];
I need to assign the wstring variable "pathStr" to LPWSTR array.

4Do you need to copy it, or do you just need to pass a const pointer? If the latter, you can just use `pathStr.c_str()` – Gem Taylor Aug 10 '18 at 10:52

Doen't `LPWSTR path[260];` create an array of 260 pointers to strings? There is probably a `WCHAR` or similar to declare an array of characters. – Gem Taylor Aug 10 '18 at 10:54

What do you want your `path` to contain? It's an array of 260 pointers. What they are supposed to point to? – n. m. could be an AI Aug 10 '18 at 10:55

@n.m. Good point. I, somehow, read it as `WCHAR path[260]` :/ – Algirdas Preidžius Aug 10 '18 at 11:07

Change to WCHAR[], use wcscpy_s() to copy. – Hans Passant Aug 10 '18 at 11:09
