    Question How to get a part of a string from a point onwards

    Hey all,

    I've been trying to think of a way to extract a part of a string from a position to the end of the string, and I can't figure out how.
    For example

    Zthis is is the part of the string i want not including the first letter

    so, i need to extract the whole sentence, without Z and store it in a variable.
    How do i do this?

    Thanks

    You can use say, strcpy(dest, source + n), where n is the position.

If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
