If you look a the string class in cstring.h you will see that it has a
member function called c_str() which returns a const char * or a constant
string.  The return value is the char* style string which the string class
contains.  To get a standard char* string and not a constant one, copy it to
a char* array.

If the size of char_star_array is declared to be at least one more than the
string, one more than string_class_instance.length(), then you can do
something like this:

  strcpy(char_star_array, string_class_instance.c_str());
