Newbie: How do you copy one specific character from a string 2

[RoyceyBaby]

Hi all,

Extreme newbie question comming up.

If i have a string

strA="Once upon a time\0";
strB="";

how do I copy say the third character from strA to strB, then maybe the seventh character from strA to strB.

I know it is these darn pointers, but I can't get my head round them yet.

Many thanks,

Royce

if you want to use pointers so :

char *pa // pointer for strA
char *pb // pointer for strB

pa=strA /* pa get the first place of the string it's
equal to pa=strA[0]
so now pa point us at the first place on strA
the same thing we'll do with strB see below. */

pb=strB // pb point the first place at strB

/* let's say that we want the seventh character from strA to strB */

*pb=*(pa+6) /* the content in address pb (* = content) get
the content in address pa+6 */
