Trailing characters after strncpy
Hi Guys,
i have searched but could not find any previouse solution.
I'm coping n characters, but after sending the final to the
printer, i get some trailing characters like c@xn after the
true result.
example
str[]="mynameissomename";
strncpy(name,str,4);
when i send this to
fprintf(prn_ptr,"%s",name);
the result is mynam@cxn on the printer.
Any help will do
thanks
Your code is incomplete. What is "name"? Without seeing your exact code, one can only speculate. I'm assuming name is a 4 byte array. As such, it's not null terminated, so your print statement displays until it hits a null (at some random point in memory).
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Thanks guys for your reply, it has solved the problem
Happy new year to u all
