Hello,

I have a question about Strings, I want to know if I can do something like
....

with sprintf I can do something like:

char buffer[256];
sprintf ( buffer, "the string one is %s and the second is %s", string1,
string2 );

and my buffer will be "the string one is 'whatever1' and the second is
'whatever2'"

but what if I need the opposite ?

I have:

char buffer[256];
char source = "the string one is 'whatever1' and the second is 'whatever2'";
X ( buffer, source, "the string one is %s and the second is %s'", string1,
string2  );

and in my string1 should be stored 'whatever1' and in string2 'whatever2'.

does an easy way exists in C or C++ ?

thanks,
