You say: "Surely I must be missing something obvious, there has to be an easy way of doing this."
There are myriad ways of doing what you want to do. What you are asking to do is very fundamental. It sounds like you need to back up a bit and learn about characters and arrays of characters, and familiarize yourself with the operations and functions available to you. I suggest you get a C/C++ reference, and spend some time learning the language.
