I'm not exactly clear what you mean, but here's some ideas.
One way:
Or another way:Code:char name[256];
strcpy(name,"a");
Code:char name[256];
name[0] = 'a';
name[1] = '\0';
>>how can i copy a single character ie. "a" to a char array.

What do you mean, "one piece at a time", you only specified one character ("a")?!
Think about what you want to do, write down the logic on paper, then try to write the code. Paste it here when you have trouble with it.
If its an entire string why not just use strcpy? It basically copies each character one at a time than adds the null character on the end.
iam not sure about what u mean. i hope this could help you
hope this helpsCode:
for(i=0;i<256;i++)
name[i]='a';
well i am trying to write a chatting prgm for some experience. and i needed a non-blocking keyboard system. so i used allegro for that. now i want as the user enters keys for them to be entered into the character array.
ie. user enters "a" "g" and "f"
i want the prgm to store "a" then "g" then "f".
heres the code:
tried many methods, including ssharish's method. but cant get it to work.Code:#include <allegro.h>
#include <winalleg.h>
int getkeypress( void );
int getkeypress()
{
int tempchar;
switch(readkey() >> 8)
{

thanks
There's an example here that might help:
http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284392
(look at the second block of code)
> int bufnum = 1;
char arrays start at 0.
int bufnum = 0;
awesome, it was that. thanks alot, sometimes you just need a fresh mind to look at the code. i completely overlooked that.
thanks
