Create a new string before using strcpy?
A little chunk of code:
ClassGFX already has a char *Name;.
Is the command to create a new string for Name necessary, or will strcpy take care of that? Also, is that TempString correct, or do I have to add a /o after it to end it? (btw, I'm going to do some more with the TempString later)Code:ClassGFX::ClassGFX(const char *NewName, int Num) { char TempString[50]="GFX/"; Name=new char[strlen(NewName)]; strcpy(Name, NewName); strcat(TempString,NewName); }
>Is the command to create a new string for Name necessary, or will strcpy take care of that?
you must do it! strcp() expects there to be enough space!
>Also, is that TempString correct, or do I have to add a /o after it to end it?
when you initialize it that '/0' is added automatically, most of the std library functions that act on strings add the '\0' themselves but explicitly adding if your not sure is not bad practice.

Yes.

This should be:
Name=new char[strlen(NewName)+1];
OK, I got it.
Thanks!
