Cast QString array to std::string array

[Ishtar]

Greetings all

I have a QString array stored on the heap and I would like to cast it into a std::string array and then pass it into a method within a different class.

I have tried the standard way:

QString * arrayPointer;
arrayPointer = new QString [dynamicSize];
 
ExternalClass test;
test.externalMethod(arrayPointer.toStdString());

QString * arrayPointer;
arrayPointer = new QString [dynamicSize];

ExternalClass test;
test.externalMethod(arrayPointer.toStdString());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This causes the compiler to chock. How do I correctly cast a QString pointer to a std::string pointer?

Many thanks for your help.
