copying chars in TC++

hello.
this is a very new-B question. But how do i copy one char in a string
to a char place in another string?
i tried this, but it signalled errors.

#include <whateverisrequired.h>

int main()
{
char out[100];
char str[100];
gets(str);
strcpy(out[1],str[5]);
return 0;
}


any help on this is really appreciated! (please note that i work on
TC++)

A simple assignment would do that:
str[5] = out[1];

ps: out is not properly initialized, it may contain garbage in it

strcpy works on null-terminated strings, not on single characters.

thank you all a lot for sparing your time!

re: copying chars in TC++

out[1] is equal to *(out+1) and what function expects is char*
perhaps u want this
strcpy( out + 1, str + 5 );
be sure to initialize out[0]
