String 'object' or not?

#4 Yep ... Hay I never said I could count.

Great answers thanks.

The serial.print thing must have been due to what I would have been trying to do with conStg in the first place, that bit I do get.

These I had no clue about,
strcmp > String Compare right?
strcat > Is this actually concatenate which is why you empty be string first

If it is concatenate would the following be valid? How is the terminating character handled?

conStg[0] = '\0';

strcat(conStg, "Some ");
strcat(conStg, "constant ");
strcat(conStg, "string");                    // conStg now contains "Some constant string" and a terminating null character

The empty buffer line ...
Will that work on a char[] that already has contents reducing the size of the array? or is it only valid when initialising the variable?

Off topic but its my thread ... ]:smiley: Are there function that will do this kind of stuff for none char arrays?

These are C functions right, is there list of string functions anywhere?
I have been trying to look things up for myself but my lack of basic C skills is hampering my ability to identify when I have found something useful.
It also doest help that I have realised now that I done even know what I need.

I am about to go and rebuild my little test script without using String .... THANKS
