copying of char

[vijay85]

 
for( j=0; j< 3; j++)
                      { TmpPathRec.leg2_carry_cost[j] = fss_leg_found->carry_cost[j]; }
in header file
short   carry_cost[3];
short leg1_carry_cost[3];

Previously we are using carry_cost[j] this for numeric.But now i want use it for char
I want to conform whether below code is right or not?

for( j=0; j< 3; j++)
{ strncpy(TmpPathRec.leg1_c64[j],fss_leg_found->c64[j],C64_LEN); }
in header file
char   c64[3][C64_LEN];
char leg1_c64[3][C64_LEN];

Waiting for valuable replies

Yes, that seems like a possible solution. Note however that if the string is really C64_LEN long, then you will not have a terminating zero in the copy of the string.

but i defined it as #define C64_LEN 3

And? It doesn't matter if it is 3 or 400. If you have C64_LEN characters in the string, then it will not have a terminating zero, so it is not a valid C string. That's not to say that's the wrong thing to do - just that you need to be aware of that possibility.
