enter a string into another string

given a new string and a position...i need to enter the new string into another string...

simple, try this

Code:

---


/* Here i is the position of where to copy the newstring into another string */
  strcpy((another_string+(i-1)), newstring) ;

---

To add a string into another one, you should look at strcat().

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

void main(void){

char newstring[20] = "lee";
char another_string[20] = "This is kenny";

int i=9;

strcpy((another_string+(i-1)), newstring) ;

printf("%s",another_string);
}

This would print "This is lee"...instead of "This is lee Kenny"..which is the correct output...

For inserting in between the string u need to take one more temp variable
Try this,

Code:

---


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

void main(void){

char newstring[20] = "lee";
char another_string[20] = "This is kenny";
char temp_string[20] ;


int i=9;
int size=strlen(newstring);

strcpy( temp_string,another_string);
strcpy((another_string+(i-1)), newstring ) ;
strcat(another_string, " ") ;
strcat(another_string, (temp_string+i-1)) ;

printf("%s",another_string);

}

/*Pls. take care of error handling,
u can write this code in multiple ways...try out other ways also.*/

N'joy

void main(void)

Never use void main(), you should use instead int main()

What is the exact reason for not using void main.

As far as i understand, people say int main should be used because a value should be returned to the OS.

But i think compiler dose take care of this..so where is the problem ???

or seach the board on void main

>>What is the exact reason for not using void main.
Because the C language states that it's wrong. But, if you don't give a hoot about being correct or portable and your compiler supports void main I don't see a problem :-)
