Is there any way to store the value of std::string::iterator in a char * in C++?

Question

I want to store the value of std::string::iterator into a char * . How can I do it ? eg

char* t_agent_val_c;

while (*itr != std::string::npos && *itr != '}')
{
    t_agent_val_c = itr.c_str();
    t_agent_val_c++;
    itr++;
}

Answer 1

You can do:

t_agent_val_c = &*itr;

And *itr != std::string::npos is incorrect, should be itr != my_string.end() .
