Description

The lstrcat (alias strcat) function appends one string to another.

Syntax

LPSTR lstrcat( LPSTR lpString1, LPCSTR lpString2 )

Parameters

lpString1: [modify]Pointer to a null-terminated string. The buffer must be large enough to contain both strings.

void lstrcat_ex1()
{
        char *ptr = NULL;
        char       szStr[80] = "This is the first part. ";
        string  str1 = "This is the second part.";
        ptr = lstrcat(szStr, str1);
        if(0 == strcmp(ptr, "This is the first part. This is the second part.")) 
        printf("the string after the concatenation  is \"%s\" \n" , szStr);
        else 
        printf("concatenation failed  \n");       
}
