copying a string

[turlisk]

i have a question about copying a string.

basically i have a function that passes an array of characters, it will be a phone number and i want to copy the numbers into a string in the format of the first 3, then the next three then the last 4.

is there a way to set where i start my copy from in strcpy or is there another function i can use that will assist in doing this?

I don't understand... What do you mean, "copy the numbers into a string in the format of the first 3, then the next three then the last 4."? You want three separate strings?

Is your string a char array, or a string?

If it's a char array, just add the offset for the start position you want to the source pointer you pass to strcpy.

If it's a string, use substr().

I guess he means that the C-string number is like 123-456-7890 and he wants a copy without the -.
Something like this maybe

char in[] = "123-456-7890";
char out[sizeof(in)-2]={0};
memcpy( &out[0], &in[0], 3 );
memcpy( &out[3], &in[4], 3 );
memcpy( &out[6], &in[8], 4 );
