define string to struct var

[siperi]

can we define string to structure variable without using strcpy?

For ex:

my_struct.lname="Jensen";
instead of strcpy(my_struct.lname,"Jensen");

Nope... you need to use strcpy()

C doesn't know strings. Only it's library functions do.

But we can assign string to normal variables 

for ex:

          char *str="live";
          char str[5]="live";

How is it? If u know please reply.

Why are you putting everything in code tag?
char str[5]="live"; // this is array initialization.

The C compiler allows "initializers"... when you do what you are showing you are intializing a new variable to it's first value. You will still need strcpy() to change that value later.
