Combining string and chararcter into string

[dn6326]

hi again, basically i want to add a character c onto string s,

so far ive tried s = strcat(s, c)
but it says they are incompatable

and i tried s = ("%s%c", s, c)

but again no luck...

any ideas?

cheers

Sure, just do it yourself: suppose you have a buffer large enough for the string
and at least one more character:

[code=c]
char buffer[42]= "fo";
[/code]

then you can append that character c as follows:

[code=c]
size_t i= strlen(buffer); // i is the index where the '\0' char is stored
buffer[i++]= c; // overwrite the '\0' char with c
buffer[i]= '\0'; // and add a new terminating '\0' char
[/code]

Of course you should create a little function for that.

kind regards,

Jos

do one thing

try strcopy(s,"hell o");
then append c onto string s
ie strcat(s,"world "); or strcat(s,'c'); or strcat(s,"c");
then s becomes "helloworld " okkkk

More from :

The OP wants to append a single char to that string; you can't use the strcat()
function for that. That's what his/her problem was all about.
