convert an array of String to char

[Grant Allen]

How can I convert a String from a String array into an array of chars?

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

Your subject line and your message both seem to say different things, and I'm guessing what you're really asking is yet another, third thing: how to turn a single String into an array of char. That's an easy one -- the String class has a single method toCharArray() that does it:

String myString = "Hello";
char[] theCharArray = myString.toCharArray();

if you are asking how to convert a String (not a String[]) to an array of characters

have a look at the api docs for the String class
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

scroll down to the methods (particularly the ones starting to...)
