Could you please tell me how to format a string in C

For example,

input : "Hello"
output: "**********Hello**********"

Thanks,
Sujin

Wouldn't this be better posted on the C forum?

I'm not a C programmer, but I would use printf ...

printf("********%s********",argv[1])

... or whatever the syntax is for the input. Read the man page on printf for more info.

Greg.
