Question

I have a pointer and I pass it to a string using sprintf but when I try to access elements in the string I have trouble.

What I want is if I have a pointer to the string abcde to create a new string

seg[5]="a,b,c,d,e"

such that when I call seg[0] I get "a".

I have some code below

     char *pch5;
     char seg1[128];

     pch5=strtok(seg,",");
                                if(pch5!=NULL){
                                sprintf(seg1,"%s",pch5);
                                    printf("%s",seg1[0]);
                                }

Answer 1

Your printf is wrong, you are using the format %s, but what you want is %c.
