I believe that you want strcat(). It concatenates char arrays.

strcpy (target, source) - this will copy the contents of "source" to "target"

strcat (target, source) - this will appendage "target" with source" as in Bran Flakes example.

Good luck to yah.

I had googled it, and I was using strcat but it wasn't working properly so I figured strcat was not what I should be using, I posted here and the kind forum people reassured me that strcat was what was to be used.

=D I always google before i post <3

The one thing you need to be sure of when using functions like strcat and strcpy is that you have enough space in the desitination to hold the necessary number of characters.
