how to copy 2 char arrays using a method?
Author
Hi, are there any methods to copy to char arrays together
eg
char buf1[256];
char buf2[256];
i tried doing
strcpy(buf1,buf2);
but it doesn''t seem to work
any ideas?
What error is given?
should work.
blah blah blah.
char buf1[256] = "hello, baby!"; char buf2[256]; strcpy(buf2, buf1); cout << buf1 << endl << buf2 << endl;should work.
blah blah blah.

What do you mean by "together"? strcpy replaces one char array with a null terminated string from the other. strcat takes one string and copies it to the null terminating location of the other string. (ie buf1 = "foo" buf2 = "bar" then strcat(buf1, buf2) = "foobar"). If the char array isn''t a string then you''ll want to just use memcpy(buf1, buf2, 256) to copy the entirety of one array to the other.
