C: Strings - Strcpy()

(Page 6 of 6 )

To copy one string into another, use the strcpy_s() function. It works by placing the second string into the first:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

int main ()

{

char first[10];

char second[10]="James";

strcpy_s(first,second);

printf(first);

return(0);

}

The result of this program is:

  James

While that isn't all of the string functions or ways that you can use strings in C, it should give you a good start. In our next article we will discuss how to use loops in C. So come back soon.
