Casting or Conversion char to byte[] Posted: Jul 8, 2005 6:01 PM

Hallo Everybody

Could anyone tell how can i convert a char into a byte[] array.

For example :

1. byte echoMessage[]={'e'};

2. char dt = 'e';
byte bt[]=dt.getBytes();

Error says

char cannot be dereferenced
byte bt[] = dt.getBytes();
^
I could use Strings to convert from char to byte, but it then changes the format of the byte array, so what should i do?

What's the problem?
Why don't you just do
    char dt = 'e';
    byte bt[] = { (byte)dt };

?
