    Poosible to 'glue' two strings together?

    Is there a function I can read up on which allows me to 'glue' two strings together to form one string?

    It's called string concatenation.

    Silly programmers...using long words like "concatenation" when "glue" is just as good.
    If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein

    Well that all depends if he wanted the input to be two small strings, which remain unchanged, and the return to be a third new string, the combination of the two.

    I'm sure that "Locktite SuperGlue 3" internally uses strcat().

    What's the header file for that?
    #include "locktite.h"?

    Nope, Locktite H seems to be a type of pencil: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=locktite.h&meta=

    Code:
    char out[128];
    
    const char *s1 = "hell";
    const char *s2 = "o";
    
    strcpy(out, s1);
    strcat(out, s2);
    
    or
    
    sprintf(out, "%s%s", s1, s2);
