scan modifiers

[allencherry]

I am trying to use the various 'scan' modifiers to give a result similar to the basic 'mid$' function which will extract a specific part of a string e.g.

Databuffer = "ABCDEFGHIJ", and I want to extract the section of the string starting from the 3rd point up to the 6th point in the string, giving the result "CDEF".

Please can anyone help?

Many thanks

The simplest way is to use strncpy:

strncpy (databuffer[2], targetstring, 4);

targetstring[4] = 0;   // This correctly terminate the string
