Re: Convert Ascii to char

That's unlikely. `char*` variables contain pointer values,
not ascii character values. The characters the pointer points
to may, or may not, be encoded in ascii.

i just
want to convert all these ascii values to respective characters and
again store it in another character pointer.

I /think/ you mean you want to copy a string from one place
to another.

If the expression `source` has value pointer to string of length N,
and the expression `dest` has value pointer to an array of chars
of length at least N+1, then executing the expression:

strcpy( dest, source )

will copy the string from `source` to `dest`. To use this expression,
you should ensure you've #included <string.h>.

This code doesn't care about ascii. In the unlikely event that matters,
you'll have to explain your problem more centrally.

Note that it's your responsibility to ensure that `dest` points to
enough characters. If it doesn't, your program will be broken, even
if nothing bad /seems/ to happen.
