Thread: string help

Hello all,

I am taking a line of text (lineOfText) and trying to insert and email address at a specific location (locationFound). I make a copy of the line of text, add the email address and copy the remaininder of the string from the copy. when I run this, it prints the lineOfText up to where I inserted the email address and then stops....

Code:

void createNewGorseveRecord(char lineOfText[], int locationFound) 
{
   int i;
   int fieldLength=0;
   int startPos=locationFound;
   int lineLength=0; 
   char *emailaddr = [email protected];
   char copyLine[LINESIZE];
   fieldLength = strlen(emailaddr);
   lineLength = strlen(lineOfText); 
   printf("NEW LINE: %s \n",lineOfText); 
   strcpy(copyLine, lineOfText); 
   for (i=0;i<=fieldLength;i++) 
   { 
     lineOfText[locationFound] = emailaddr[i]; 
     locationFound++; 
   } 
   for (i=startPos;i<lineLength;i++) 
   { 
       printf("< %d %c \n",i,copyLine[i]); 
       lineOfText[locationFound] = copyLine[i]; 
       printf("> %d %c \n",locationFound, lineOfText[locationFound]); 
       locationFound++; 
   } 
   printf("NEW LINE: %s \n",lineOfText);

When I print out each character I am copying from and too, it shows the correct character, then when my last line prints the lineOfText, it truncates to where I enter the new string, is this a buffer size problem?

Code:

for (i=0;i<=fieldLength;i++)

Change the control field to i<fieldLength. e.g. from <= to <.

The problem is you're copying the '\0' as well which is truncating the string. Changing the code that I just mentioned will fix it.
