C Tutorial/String/String Terminator
By setting first[4] to NULL ("\0"), we can shorten the string
<source lang="cpp">#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char name[30];
strcpy(name, "Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaam");
printf("The name is %s\n", name);
name[4] = "\0";
printf("The name is %s\n", name);
return (0);
}</source>
The name is Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaam The name is Saaa
Displaying a string with a string terminator in the middle
<source lang="cpp">#include <stdio.h> int main(void) {
printf("The character \0 is used to terminate a string.");
return 0;
}</source>
The character
Overwrite the newline character in string
<source lang="cpp">#include <stdio.h>
- include <string.h>
- include <ctype.h>
int main(void) {
char text[100];
printf("\nEnter the string to be searched(less than 100 characters):\n");
fgets(text, sizeof(text), stdin);
text[strlen(text)-1] = "\0";
printf("%s",text);
}</source>
Enter the string to be searched(less than 100 characters):
