Thread: Command Line argument

Hi all,

In the following:

#include <stdio.h>

main(int argc, char * argv[])

char name[], number[], middle[], fullLine[];
middle="\t 837337 \t C\t";

how can I assign argv[1] to name[], argv[2] to number[], and
concantenate the values of name[], middle[], and number[] (in this order) in fullLine[].

Since I should preserve the original values of argv[1], argv[2], and middle[] for later use in the program, I should not used the character pointers, I guess (I may be wrong?).

Your suggestions would be highly appreciated.

#include <string.h>

some functions declared in string.h

char* strcat(char* s, const char* ct);
Concatenate ct to s and return s.

char* strcpy(char* s, const char* ct);
Copies ct to s including terminating NUL and returns s.


eg., strcpy(name,argv[1]);

name must be big enough of course
