Quick question

[ItzBlue]

Hello, just wondering if this is possible. What i'm trying to do is to assign the length of a string to an integer variable. This is what i tried, it did not work.

    printf("Enter a string\n");

    fgets(test_pass, 30, stdin);

    strcpy(x,(strlen(test_pass)));

    printf("%d", x);

This was just a test, and it did not compile. Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks.

Read about what strcpy is supposed to do.
Edit: Added URL http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstring/strcpy/

strcpy(x,(strlen(test_pass)));

You likely want

x = strlen(test_pass);

Oh thanks. I tried

strlen(test_pass) = x;

Didn't work that way. Thanks a lot.

There is a big difference between

strlen(test_pass) = x; 
/*              and                          */

x = strlen(test_pass);
