Casting a char to a u8 var

I got back to work on the wiixplore project and there seems to be a problem with some http parsing

in summary, i need to be able to convert the char output from

char * tcp_readln (const s32 s, const u16 max_length, const u64 start_time, const u16 timeout);

into u8

u8 *http_data;

u8 *http_data = (u8*)tcp_readln (const s32 s, const u16 max_length, const u64 start_time, const u16 timeout);

?? That what you want ?

yeah thats probably what i want, u8 just seems like an odd var type (usigned int???)

u8 is unsigned char.

aaahhh, couldnt find any info via google so thanks that little nugget of knowledge

Why did you look on Internet? Everything is in gctypes.h:

/*+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+*/
typedef unsigned char u8;									///< 8bit unsigned integer
typedef unsigned short u16;								///< 16bit unsigned integer
typedef unsigned int u32;									///< 32bit unsigned integer
typedef unsigned long long u64;						///< 64bit unsigned integer
/*+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+*/
typedef signed char s8;										///< 8bit signed integer
typedef signed short s16;									///< 16bit signed integer
typedef signed int s32;										///< 32bit signed integer
typedef signed long long s64;							///< 64bit signed integer
/*+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+*/

And much more...
