STcopyNMax


Routine

int STcopyNMax (const char Si[], char So[], int N, int Maxchar)

Purpose

Copy N characters characters to a string

Description

This routine is used to copy min(N,Maxchar) characters from the input string to the output string. A null character in the input string also terminates the transfer at that point. If N is larger than Maxchar, a string truncated warning message is printed.

Parameters

    Number of characters in the output string
-> const char Si[]
Input character string
<- char So[]
Output character string. This string is always null terminated, with at most Maxchar characters not including the terminating null character. If the input string is longer than Maxchar, only the first Maxchar characters are copied and a warning message is printed.
-> int N
Number of characters to be transferred
-> int Maxchar
Maximum number of characters (not including the terminating null character) to be placed in So.
