Hi,
What the quickest way to get 1 character from char* string if you know the letter number? and return it as another char* ?

So I need:

char* test="random"

// get character 3

char* character="n"

I know if it was just a char I could just do charstring[3] but this doesnt work with char*. I know there's dbLeft and dbRight but I want to dont want to use this.

Thanks,
Alex

Just make an array with a length of 2, copy the required char in, and zero the last index(the code below will do the latter two in reverse).

i.e.:



Alternatively you could use std::string:

I am using char* not char. I need to get one letter from a char* of which I know its letter number.

If you're asking that the function return a char pointer to the character in an array when you have a char pointer to the first char and the offset then the char * you're looking for is simply the original char pointer plus the offset. That's the way pointer arithmetic works.

I don't know why you would ever need such a function, these kind of operations are fundamental:



If you want to take a char and output it, dark coder already showed how to do this.
