string manipulation without alloc mem in c
- by Mike
I'm wondering if there is another way of getting a sub string without allocating memory. To be more specific, I have a string as:
const char *str = "9|0\" 940 Hello";
Currently I'm getting the 940, which is the sub-string I want as,
char *a = strstr(str,"9|0\" ");
char *b = substr(a+5, 0, 3); // gives me the 940
Where substr is my sub string procedure. The thing is that I don't want to allocate memory for this by calling the sub string procedure.
Is there a much easier way?, perhaps by doing some string manipulation and not alloc mem.
I'll appreciate any feedback.
