If I were to do
(length of string is 10 chars)
Code:
strncpy(string, temp, (len-1));

is it the same as
Code:
string[10] = '\0';
?

I thought C/C++ needed the null char to determine end of a string. According to http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread66649.html someone did find a way to do it. Using strcat();

For strncpy:
Quote:
No null-character is implicitly appended to the end of destination, so destination will only be null-terminated if the length of the C string in source is less than num.
