Header File

string.h, mbstring.h

Category

Memory and String Manipulation Routines, Inline Routines

Prototype

char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src);

wchar_t *wcscat(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src);

unsigned char *_mbscat(unsigned char *dest, const unsigned char *src);

Description

Appends one string to another.

strcat appends a copy of src to the end of dest. The length of the resulting string is strlen(dest) + strlen(src).

Return Value

strcat returns a pointer to the concatenated strings.

Example

Copy Code

    #include <string.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main(void)
    {
       char destination[25];
       char *blank = " ", *c = "C++", *CodeGear = "CodeGear";
       strcpy(destination, CodeGear);
       strcat(destination, blank);
       strcat(destination, c);
       printf("%s\n", destination);
       return 0;
    }
