Incrementing Pointers Along arrays

Code:

---

char *key;
char blah[10];

gets(blah);
key = blah;

//How would I get a specific character from key?

---

Ie. blah is qwerty

I want to go through, using key, to get, say, the third character.

how would I go about doing that? I was thinking putchar(key[2]); but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Any help for this n00b would be appreciated :D

>I was thinking putchar(key[2]); but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Why not? It's perfectly legal

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    char *key;
    char blah[10];

    gets(blah); /* gets is never correct, use fgets */
    key = blah;

    putchar(key[2]);

    return 0;
}

Yeah, it does work, ignore this thread. My brain said putchar, my body put putc, my Eyes read putc, and the error message spoke of macros.... lol
