Question

Let’s say I have “game.abc” as a string (array of chars) and I want to get the chars that are before the dot. What you would deem to be the most efficient way to do this in C?

Is a “while until . copy char to char” the way to go or is there any other way?

I hope this question can help others also.

Thanks!

Answer 1

you can also use strchr() followed by strncpy() to find first instance of ‘.’ in your string and then copy all characters before it to another string
