[Dev-C++] trim / sub string

[Danny R. <dro...@ho...>]

Hi,

Another problem to solve.. i wish to make a routine which gives me a =
substring or trimmed down on the following
conditions that i can start from anypoint in the string untill the =
offset is reached. so for example

mytext =3D "this is a test";
result =3D substring(mytext,6,2);

result would now have to contain the 2nd word "is"...

thats my goal.. i couldn't figure out a single function for it, if =
someone knows a solution.. would be great..=20

or if you know how to "build" a new string, which in my thought has to =
go like this:

mytext =3D "this is a test";

mytext ++ ( 5 times) to set a pointer somehow to the 5th char in the =
string.

subtext =3D subtext + pointer to mytext

mytext ++ (1 time) to go to the next char in the string

subtext =3D subtext + point to mytext

which will give me "is" in the subtext...



I could find decent material while searching the internet..  normaly, in =
my pas i always had the benefit of functions called substr
and trimstr but they dont exist as far as i know for cpp..=20


thanks for any help..
