    strcpy

    What is the equivalent of strcpy in c++ and do I have to use a .h for it??

    I'd say strcpy() in string.h

    Some things just don't change.

    And also std::strcpy() in <cstring> right?

    actually, wouldn't this be the equivalent?
    Code:
    str1 = str2;
    where st1 and st2 are std::string ?
    always looking, make an offer. get me out of this place.

    code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    str1 = str2;
    Only if they're declared as strings and not char*/char[], I think.

    right, but a lot of people are looking for so-called C++ equivalences so I suppose it could be said that

    char [] == std::string in C++

    I don't really agree. I think C is mostly contained by C++ so I agree with TheDog on that one.

    strcpy() == strcpy() in C++ as C is a rough subset of C++
