std::string to char[] with a twist

[ruffiano]

Hello,

I need your expertise to perform a conversion.

I need to convert a std::string to a char[32]. However, in the
conversion, I need to get rid of the '/0' character. The initial string
represents a 256 bit (32 byte) numeric value. Therefore, the resulting
char[32] should not contain '/0'.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Usually you have to make extra effort to actually
copy the '\0', not the other way around.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know
that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,'
and then they actually change their minds and you never
hear that old view from them again. They really do it.
It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists
are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens
every day. I cannot recall the last time something like
that happened in politics or religion.
