I have an array of strings and I want to use the elements of that array as the argument of a function, but the argument of my function should be char* type.

How can I solve this problem? 

string Arr[]={"aa.txt","bb.txt","cc.txt"};
void myfunc(char* Arr[i]);

I am programming in visual studio C++ 2010.

    I recommend changing the parameter type to a `vector` of `string`. The function parameter is a pointer to a **single** character. You could also change the parameter to `std::string`. You should think twice about converting between `std::string` and `char *`. Always prefer the `string`. – Thomas Matthews Sep 14 '15 at 15:13

Use std::string::c_str(), but the function argument would need to be const. Otherwise, I think your only option is to alloc a copy of the returned const char* std::string::c_str().
