Why is .copy adding duplicate characters to one word?

[Ajm113]

For some reason when I try to pass a string that is this:

'man!';

Into the first param of copy and the value of 4 in to the second param and 6 into the last argument for some reason copy is adding duplicate characters in the string. Then it comes out like so:

man!!';

It's kinda odd because if I form the string into a sentence it works fine, because of the spaces can someone help me out why it's doing this? I just want it to get the man! part. Just exclude the '; part.

Code:

                size_t i_mFound;
    int RB;
    int RE;
    int length;
 
    i_mFound = sData.find("'");
 
 
    if (i_mFound!=std::string::npos) {
     RB = int(i_mFound);
     RB++;
 
    }
 
 
    i_mFound = sData.find("';");
        if (i_mFound!=std::string::npos) {
        RE = int(i_mFound);
        }
        length = RE - RB;
        length=sData.copy(szFilename,length,RB);

Did you initialize szFilename... I ran the code and seems to work as expected.

I just init szFilename like so...

char szFilename[1024] = {0};
