MikroElektronika
Prototype
sub procedure strcpy(dim byref s1, s2 as string)
Description The function copies the value of the string s2 to the string s1 and appends a null character to the end
of s1.
Example
txt = “mikroElektronika”
txt_sub = “mikr”
strcpy(txt,txt_sub) ‘ copies string ‘txt_sub’ to ‘txt’
Prototype
sub function strlen(dim byref s as string) as word
Description The function returns the length, in words, of the string s. The length does not include the null terminating
character.
Example
txt = “mikroElektronika”
res = strlen(txt) ‘ calculates the length of the ‘txt’ string, result =
16
Prototype
sub procedure strncat(dim byref s1, s2 as string, dim size as word)
Description The function appends at most size characters from the string s2 to the string s1 and terminates s1
with a null character. If s2 is shorter than the size characters, s2 is copied up to and including the null
terminating character.
Example
txt = “mikroElektronika”
txt_sub = “mikr”
txt[5] = 0
strncat(txt,txt_sub,4) ‘ routine appends rst 4 characters from the string
‘txt_sub’ at the place of rst null character in the ‘txt’ string
Prototype
sub procedure strncpy(dim byref s1, s2 as string, dim size as word)
Description The function copies at most size characters from the string s2 to the string s1. If s2 contains
fewer characters than size, s1 is padded out with null characters up to the total length of the size
characters.
Example
txt = “mikroElektronika”
txt_sub = “mikr”
strncpy(txt,txt_sub,4) ‘ copies rst 4 characters form the string ‘txt_sub’
to ‘txt’
