I am trying to change a string to a char *.  I am using the function c_str()
but I am having problems with it.

How would I go about assigning the new char * value to a char *?  For
example, this is what I
tried to do and it didn't work.  It gave me a (null) result when it should
have said "test".  Thanks.

int main()
{
string s = "test";
char *b;
*b = *s.c_str();
cout << b;
return 0;
}
