how can i get 1º char in const char *text

like:

const char *text = #firstchar;
or
const char *text = (firstchar;
or
const char *text = $firstchar;

how can i get 1º letter/char (#) ?

[c0ldfyr3]

Do you mean 1st char?

[PM]

Use text[0] .

i want get 1º letter/simbol in the const char *

like:

const char *text = #test

i want detect what is first letter in the string

[c0ldfyr3]

1. Why are you using Valve's strlen instead of the usual one?
2. Why would you need to check the string's length with strlen in the first place?
3. Why are you returning a value of char to a variable of char* in one branch, but char* in the other? That makes no sense, and I'm not sure if the compiler would implicitly take reference to it, or implicitly cast it. You'd get the exact same value of sText for the former, and for the latter you'd get a garbage pointer.
4. What is wrong with text[0]? It's just going to yield '\0' on zero-length strings.

And if you were wondering, "1º" corresponds to "primo" in Italian--just like "1st" and "first" in English.

Also, let's just try that code:

brodie:~$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
    char* s = "Hey";
    char* f = (strlen(s) != 0 ? s[0] : "");

    printf("s: %p\n", s);
    printf("f: %p\n", f);

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
brodie:~$ gcc -Wall -Wextra test.c
test.c: In function 'main':
test.c:8: warning: pointer/integer type mismatch in conditional expression
brodie:~$ ./a.out
s: 0x2df0
f: 0x48

That doesn't look too pretty, now does it?
