How can I remove first two elements of a string array? I have a code which is something like this.

char *x[10];
..............
..............
..............
char *event[20];
event[0]=strtok(x[i]," ");
event[1]=strtok(NULL," ");
event[2]=strtok(NULL," ");
event[3]=strtok(NULL," ");
event[4]=strtok(NULL," ");
event[5]=strtok(NULL," ");
for(i=2;i<length;i++)
{
    strcpy(event[i-2],event[i]);
}

I observed that only event[0] has proper values. I printed the contents of event[][] before for loop and it displays correctly. Could you please tell me why this is wrong? and a possible solution?
