Thread: adding onto strings

use strcat()

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
        char file_name[1024];

        /* Read the file */
        printf( "Enter a file name (no extension): " );
        fgets( file_name, 1024, stdin );
        file_name[strcspn( file_name, "\n" )] = '\0';

        /* Append the extension */
        strcat( file_name, ".dg" );

        /* Check that it worked right */
        printf( "%s\n", file_name );

        return 0;
}

Yep, it makes for cleaner looking code.

>>Nice one. Got that from Hammer?
Glad to see the code is being used But I can't and won't take the credit for this one liner. I first saw it used by Prelude, and thought the same as Dr Bebop.
