Character Array copying

Hi,

Many thanks to hk_mp5kpdw for answering my previous post, was perfect thanks!

Since this is a different problem I figured a different topic would be wise, this time it should be fairly simple. Ive simply forgotten how to make one character array equal to another
eg

Code:

---

char name[20];
char tname[20];

tname = name;

---

I need tname to become equal to name as I am passing it to another function, but I cant find the lecture we had on this.

Thanks
-Steve

Edit- sorry, I have a scanf to take a value for name before I reach tname = name and tname should be empty.

strcpy()

thats the one :D

Cheers

hi there
you can use two methods for this
1. as our dear friend notified, use

Code:

---

strcpy(tname,name);

---

else

Code:

---

    int i;
    for(i=0;i<20;i++)
    {
            tname[i]=name[i];
    }

---

:cool:

And there is also memcpy...
