string concatenation

[harishkharvi]

i want to know how to concatenate two string (Eg: str1 & str2)

Hi Harish, You could use strcat function provided in string.h to concatenate 2 strings. e.g strcat(str1,str2) concatenates str2 with str1.

Which kind of string ? C style strings ? Then use strcat. std::string ? Then use the + operator.

Use std::string or CString and then you can do it like this:

std::string a = "Hello ";
std::string b = "World";

std::string c = a + b;

or

CString a = "Hello ";
CString b = "World";

CString c = a + b;

Otherwise, if you just use C strings, you have to do stuff like this:

char a[10];
char b[10];
char c[20];
strcpy(a, "Hello ");
strcpy(b, "World");
strcpy(c, b);
strcat(c, a);
