CRTL, wcscat
*Conan The Librarian
|
Concatenates two wide-character strings.
Format
#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcscat (wchar_t *wstr_1, const wchar_t *wstr_2);
The wcscat function has variants named _wcscat32 and _wcscat64
for use with 32-bit and 64-bit pointer sizes, respectively.
wstr_1, wstr_2
Pointers to null-terminated wide-character strings.
The wcscat function appends the wide-character string wstr_2,
including the terminating null character, to the end of wstr_1.
See also wcsncat.
x The first argument, wstr_1, which is assumed
to be large enough to hold the concatenated
result.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <string.h>
/* This program concatenates two wide-
character strings using */
/* the wcscat function, and then manually compares the result */
/* to the expected result */
#define S1LENGTH 10
#define S2LENGTH 8
main()
{
int i;
wchar_t s1buf[S1LENGTH + S2LENGTH];
wchar_t s2buf[S2LENGTH];
wchar_t test1[S1LENGTH + S2LENGTH];
/* Initialize the three wide-character strings */
if (mbstowcs(s1buf, "abcmnexyz", S1LENGTH) == (size_t)-1) {
perror("mbstowcs");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
if (mbstowcs(s2buf, " orthis", S2LENGTH) == (size_t)-1) {
perror("mbstowcs");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
if (mbstowcs(test1, "abcmnexyz orthis", S1LENGTH + S2LENGTH)
perror("mbstowcs");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
/* Concatenate s1buf with s2buf, placing the result */
/* into * s1buf. Then compare s1buf with the expected */
/* result in test1. */
wcscat(s1buf, s2buf);
for (i = 0; i < S1LENGTH + S2LENGTH - 2; i++) {
/* Check that each character is correct */
if (test1[i] != s1buf[i]) {
printf("Error in wcscat\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
printf("Concatenated string: <%S>\n", s1buf);
}
Running the example produces the following result:
Concatenated string: <abcmnexyz orthis>
