Thread: How to select all but the first and the second character in a string?

Hi there,
I have to select all the characters of a string but the first and the second one.
I mean I have a variable called buffer like this:

Code:

char buffer = [03"code"];

and I need to get a variable buffer2 == ["code"].

Thank you in advance.

strcpy(buffer2, &buffer[2]);

Thank for your answer, CommonTater!
I forgot to say that my variable is actually a pointer

Code:

char* buffer = [03"code"];

so i assume the answer is now:

Code:

strcpy(buffer2, buffer[2]);

right?
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you.

No problem... I was interrupted while writing that and decided to send it "as is"... I probably shouldn't have done that... but yes, that is one way to do it. Please note from my first message, you do need the & in there for it to work.
