RE: another C question

[P. Alan Johnson]

I can think of a couple of ways. Make sure there is enough room allocated
for the final resulting string plus one for the null terminator character
('/0').

void FirstWay (void)
{
   Char resultStr[10]; //make it big enough to hold the final string
   Char firstStr[5];

   //put a value into a string
   StrCopy (firstStr, "10");

   //format a string to contain the value above plus another string.
   // StrPrintf can contain different "%whatevers" for different values,
   // see the documentation under the StringManager for details.
   StrPrintf (resultStr, "%s days", firstStr);

   return;
}

void SecondWay (void)
{
   Char resultStr[10]; //make it big enough to hold the final string
   Char firstStr[5];
   CharPtr secondStr[] = " days";

   //put a value into a string
   StrCopy (firstStr, "10");

   //copy the value into the result string
   StrCopy (resultStr, firstStr);

   //concatenate the second string onto the result string
   StrCat (resultStr, secondStr);

   return;
}
