Why is .copy adding duplicate characters to one word?

[Ajm113]

For some reason when I try to pass a string that is this:

'man!';

Into the first param of copy and the value of 4 in to the second param and 6 into the last argument for some reason copy is adding duplicate characters in the string. Then it comes out like so:

man!!';

It's kinda odd because if I form the string into a sentence it works fine, because of the spaces can someone help me out why it's doing this? I just want it to get the man! part. Just exclude the '; part.

Code:

				size_t i_mFound;
	int RB;
	int RE;
	int length;

	i_mFound = sData.find("'");

	
	if (i_mFound!=std::string::npos) {
	 RB = int(i_mFound);
	 RB++;

	}

		
	i_mFound = sData.find("';");
		if (i_mFound!=std::string::npos) {
		RE = int(i_mFound);
		}
		length = RE - RB;
		length=sData.copy(szFilename,length,RB);

Did you initialize szFilename... I ran the code and seems to work as expected.

I just init szFilename like so...

char szFilename[1024] = {0};
