Code:

for (int i=0; i<social_sites; i++)

So... Even if i do the NULL to the string after it's been added, it's still going to do that? No work around for it? Is there an example i can look at when doing an array and pulling data from it to strncat to a string that i can clear it and start from the top, down again? Please let me know. Thank you.

Why would you even need strncpy() or strcat() if you could be working with std::string?

Code:

using std::string;

//...

string hello = "Hi there!"; // string literal is copied into new string object

string hi = hello; // done, hi is now a copy of hello

string howdy(hello); // done, just a different syntax

string line;

std::getline(std::cin, line); // takes input from a user, the whole line of text that is (by default until '\n' character).

std::cout << line << "\n"; // see for yourself

Oh, and instead of using plain array, why not use a std::vector<std::string> (a vector of strings)?

It depends if you are using C or C++. In C++ std::string or even string library <string> can be used.
But in C you need either to write functions from scratch or to use <cstring> library or any other.

True, but since the OP used string in original paste, I thought it is about C++. Yet another point why separating C and C++ forums would clear some things up. Wink

Also, you should be aware that <string> is a header file that std::string is defined in. Wink

Yeah definitely, std::string is defined in <string>.
And C/C++ forum is the most popular, and Pascal and Delphi don't have as much threads together as C/C++.
We are going to discuss that definitely.

That happened because in the beginning most users of this forum were Pascal/Delphi programmers and we
wanted to separate that, to have a clear line between those two languages.
Not much users were using C or C++, so we had a general "C-based languages" forum which was splitted
when it had grown.
