String methods

[MethodMan]

Hello,

I have to take an array of characters and take out all non alpahbetic characters. I use strncat, but it only assigns the first set of alpha characters in the array, to a temp array.
ex rt%^ty becomes rt, and it skips the rt.

Is there some way to make a loop and somehow by pass the middle %^ to get to the ty and put them in the temp array also?

Thanks

#include <ctype.h>
.

.
for ( i = 0, j = 0; string[i] != '\0'; i++ ) {
  if ( isalpha ( string[i] )
    newString[j++] = string[i];
}

thanks

if my function had pointers to chars

void func(char *s1, char *s2)
where s1 is filled with all the characers inlcuding the ^&&&, would i be able to ouput all the alpha character to s2?

im new to C, and not very good with pointers
thanks

Yes, provided s2 is an array that you passed to the function. Otherwise you would have to allocate enough memory to hold all of the characters that you intend to transfer to s2. Also try to protect yourself from yourself by declaring all variables that are not to be changed as const, so s1 would be const while s2 would not be.
void function ( const char *src, char *dst );

Thanks
ive been trying to write some code..
using the fucntion as before, and having an array filled with all the alpha charaacters, i used strspn ans strncat, but strspn only counts the inital segemnt of the alpha characters in the array
ex. ffhhh%^^ghjf, since the ffhhh are in alpha in puts them in the new array, and leaves the ghjf.
Here is my problem, how would i skip all occurence of non-alpha characters? How could i compare the char *In with the alpha char characters?, but still using the strspn and strncat functions?

I probably should have asked the question this way ftom the beginning, sorry
