there is a
way of obtaining the address where a character array is pointing

The pointer value *is* the address. For example:
char *foo = ....
printf( "The address is %p\n", foo );
You do not need to use the & operator.
It depends on what you mean by "character array". If you are talking
about a variable declared like so:
char myarray[32];
Then to get the address, you would do the following:
print("The address is %p\n", (&myarray));
If you are talking about a variable declared like:
char *myarray = new char[32];
Then the address is stored in 'myarray', and de-referencing 'myarray'
will give you the actual contents of the string.
