How can we transfer a PUNICODE_STRING to PCHAR? PWCHAR to PCHAR?

?

PUNICODE_STRING pustr = ...;
PWCHAR pw = pustr->Buffer;

should do it...

Be careful here, since Unicode strings will have every other byte as a zero.  I suspect with the above code sample you will truncate your string to either zero or one bytes, from the PCHAR point of view.  

There are C Run time routines to do these conversions.  Lookup converting Unicode to ASCII and converting ASCII to Unicode.
