Combine two strings into one string

Luigi Thirty · **Author**

I'm trying to make a radio plugin, but I'm stuck. I've got two strings, musicBaseURL and musicAddURL. I need to put musicAddURL on the end of musicBaseURL and write that to musicNewURL.

Code:

musicNewURL[199] = StrCat(String:musicBaseURL[100], 200, String:musicAddURL[99]);

Doesn't work, and I can't figure out how to do it or if I'm even using StrCat right.

StrCat(musicBaseURL, sizeof(musicBaseURL), musicAddURL);

This would put the whole url inside of musicBaseURL.

You problem is overuse of brackets. ( [] )

Code:

StrCat(musicBaseURL, sizeof(musicBaseURL), musicAddURL);

StrCat adds musicAddURL to musicBaseURL.

Plus functions can't return strings in Pawn, hence why they use buffers.

Also, if you want it to all be put inside of a different string (like it seems you're trying to do in your first post), you can always do this:

Code:

Format(musicNewURL, sizeof(musicNewUrl), "%s%s", musicBaseURL, musicAddURL);

..and then it will be stored in musicNewURL.
