hi!
i'm new to this list and i hope i'm not bothering you with this simple
stuff:
i'm having problems with strings.
i want to get a path without filename into a string.
and the code is this:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
// string.h included of course...
char * GetPath (char * string)
{
char * path;
int i, pos=-1;
for(i=0;string[i]!=0;i++)
{
if(string[i]=='/')
pos=i;
}
if(pos==-1)
return NULL;
strncpy(path, string, pos+1);
return path;
}
////////////////////////////////////////////
i don't get it to work.
can someone please help me?
thank you!
