That depends on what you mean.

There is no standard type Char; I presume you mean char.

To copy the value of a char* object to another one, just assign it.

To copy a string, use strcpy() (but first make sure that the target
has enough room).

If you're copying character arrays that aren't strings, use memcpy()
(or memmove() if they might overlap).

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

int main(void)
{
typedef char Char;
Char *a = 0;
Char *b = 0;
a = b;
return 0;
}

I've given a literal answer to your question.
I suspect you'll need to phrase it more specifically
to get the answer you really need.

No 'Char' in C. I guess you are talking about 'char'.

Use the '=' operator.

char *pa = "hello";
char pb;

pb = pa;

If you meant 'C-string', please, be more specific.

Aren't you being sensitive in this case? :-)


BTW I have been working on a TC to a standard and using M$ Word is a
right bugger as it auto corrects and capitalises the source code
examples in the text. The other problem is find out where to turn off
all the "help"

Even on windoze, you can get good text editors. Try textpad, from
textpad.com.

Why not uses a programmers editor to write your code. There are
many to choose from.

For example one such choice is the Zeus for Windows IDE:

http://www.zeusedit.com/features.html

Note: Zeus is shareware (45 day trial).

It is designed for writing code and has features like configurable
syntax highlighting, project/workspace management, class browsing,
integrated version control etc.

You can use the assignment operator (=) to copy
the value of one object to another object whenever
the objects' types are the same or the 'source'
object's type is convertible to the 'destination'
object's type.

Because it is a veritable glutealgy to write the rest of the text in.

BTW: spamming doesn't make your product look any prettier, no matter how
pseudo-targeted.
