Hello Bob!

On 30 May 94, you said to Roy Mcneill:

RM>> char dest[4];
RM>> char *source = "3:711/934.12";
RM>> char *p;

RM>> p = source + 2;
RM>> strncpy (dest, p, 3);
RM>> dest[3] = "\0";

BL> Hi Roy,
BL>         I'm still not on top of pointers. every time I try to use them
BL> I manage to lock the computer. Why can't I define:

BL> char source[16]
BL> strcpy(source,"3:711/934.12");

BL> and then use

BL>   strncpy(dest,source[2],3);

                   &source[2],3);  /* You need the ADDRESS OF source[2] */

Sea Ewes are round!
Geoff.
