[c] simple question

saiz66 · 10-12-2004, 07:32 PM

Hi. I wanted to know how I could start off a string from the second letter. An example would be better:

eg.

char mybuf[100];

mybuf = "Hi.";

I want it so it is:

mybuf = "i."

So basically I am starting off at the 2nd spot. Thanks!

Also i want to add that i know how to do it when it is
char * mybuf;

but is it possible to do it with

char mybuf[100]?

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but does this answer your question?

Code:

itsme@itsme:~/C$ cat demo.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
  char buf[100] = "some string";

  puts(buf+1);
  strcpy(buf+4, "thing else");
  puts(buf);

  return 0;
}
itsme@itsme:~/C$ ./demo
ome string
something else
