mixing char in

[801119]

greetings all...

I have the following declarations
char *msg[] = {"Hello world..."};
long year = 2002;
and want to have

*msg = "Hello world 2002...";
how do I do it? mixing char and long?


really can't understand this one =( My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work

sprintf(&msg[strlen(msg)-3]," %d%s", year,"..."

Just my 2 cents... the above should work fine. But also look into

char buffer[128];
sprintf(buffer,"Hello World %d...",2002);

thanks =) after some consulting by others i decided to change my declaration to
char[100] = {"hello world...\n\0"};
cause char *msg wouldn't work =((

anyhow thanks =) My codes look like something a kid wrote

If you really want the "long" mixed in...

...
char buf[128];
long year = 2002L;

sprinf(buf, "Hello World %ld\n", year);

...subtle difference

What I meant was that those two options worked, but NOT when I used
char *msg; only when I used char msg[100];.... My codes look like something a kid wrote

Right... i didnt notice it before but you can do it with char* msg because you really dont have any space allocated. Also the above when you say

char msg[] = "hello world...";

would not work eaither because only enough space is allocated for "hello world..."
