strncpy errors and don't know why.

[Guest_imported]

Len=strlen(lpCmdLine);
strncpy(lpCmdSwitch,lpCmdLine,Len-strlen (lpCmdSwitchValue));


The lp vars are LPSTR's. It should work (I think) but when ever I pass anything but "0" it errors. My STR2 is initialized as NULL and have tried a terminator as well "\0" but it still errors.

Any guesses

You need to allocate memory for your variables.
LPSTR lpvar = malloc(size_t size) where size would be the amount of memory you need.

Hope that helps.

Well, if you are coding C++, I recommand to use operator new instead of malloc !

For char array, use new[] and delete[] (do not forget [] of delete !)

the correct variant will be. It sure will work

strncpy(lpCmdSwitch,lpCmdLine,Len-strlen (lpCmdSwitchValue)+1); [sig][/sig]
