My string (long_str) is delimited by "~". I need to
chop off by ~ point and output multiple short_str to
the screen:
I am looping the long_str and look for "~":
for (i = 0; i < StrLen(long_str); i++) {
if (long_str[i] != '~')
/* not a ~, so i am building new short_str */
/* by cancatenating the new char to the end */
/* this is NOT working */
StrCat(short_str, &P[i])
else
/* if it is a ~, i output the short_str */
WinDrawChars(short_str, StrLen(short_str)...);
/* reinitialize short_str for next time*/
str[0] = '\0';
}
BTW, I tried (void)StrNCat(str, &P[i], 1) and it
didn't work for me.
