Combining two strings

I'm trying to create a schedule generator.
I have global variables of

Code:

---

char *team1 = "random name";
char *team2 = "someone else";

---

What I want to do is make a different string that will be

Code:

---

char * newString = "random name vs. someone else"

---

The way I have it set up is that I know that they're are only 45 possible matchup combinations, so I will make a variable for everyone (there's more than 2 teams, and I know this probably isn't the most efficient method, but its all I can think of at the moment.)

So how do I do this without having to type in all the names every time?

An array of strings is what you are probably after

Code:

---

    char players[6][10] = {
                            "Player 1",
                            "Player 2",
                            "Player 3",
                            "Player 4",
                            "Player 5",
                            "Player 5",
                        };




    printf("It's %s vs. %s!\n", players[2], players[3]);

---

Or better yet, something like this:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


void print_players(int p1, int p2);


int main (void)
{


    print_players(2, 3);


    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


void print_players(int p1, int p2)
{
    char players[6][10] = {
                            "Player 1",
                            "Player 2",
                            "Player 3",
                            "Player 4",
                            "Player 5",
                            "Player 5",
                        };


    printf("It's %s vs. %s!\n", players[p1], players[p2]);
}

strcat - C++ Reference
strlen - C++ Reference
malloc - C++ Reference
free - C++ Reference

Code:

---

/* declare an array of string constants */
const char *names[] = {
    "one",
    "two",
    /* ... */
};
char match[BUFSIZ];  /* make sure this is big enough to hold two names */
sprintf(match, "%s vs %s", names[0], names[1]);
/* now match contains "one vs two" */
