To do: Using the C++ _Copy_s() (safer version) member function to copy at most a specified number of characters from an indexed position in a source string to a target character array

To show: How to use the C++ C++ _Copy_s() (safer version) member function to copy at most a specified number of characters from an indexed position in a source string to a target character array in C++ programming

// the C++ basic_string _Copy_s() example

#include<string>

#include<iostream>

usingnamespace std;

int main(void)

{

string str1("This is the str1 string");

basic_string<char>::iterator str_Iter;

// declare and initialize arrays with 0

const int array1_size = 20;

char array1[array1_size] = {0};

const int array2_size = 10;

char array2[array2_size] = {0};

basic_string<char>:: pointer array1Ptr = array1;

basic_string<char>:: value_type *array2Ptr = array2;

cout<<"The original str1 string is: ";

for (str_Iter = str1.begin(); str_Iter != str1.end(); str_Iter++)

cout << *str_Iter;

cout<<endl;

basic_string<char>::size_type nArray1;

cout<<"\nOperation: str1._Copy_s(array1Ptr, array1_size, 12)"<<endl;

nArray1 = str1._Copy_s(array1Ptr, array1_size, 12);

cout<<"The number of copied characters in array1 is: "<<nArray1 << endl;

cout<<"The copied characters array1 is: "<<array1<<endl;

basic_string<char>:: size_type nArray2;

cout<<"\nOperation: str1._Copy_s(array2Ptr, array2_size, 5, 6)"<<endl;

nArray2 = str1._Copy_s(array2Ptr, array2_size, 5, 6);

cout <<"The number of copied characters in array2 is: "<<nArray2<<endl;

cout<<"The copied characters array2 is: "<<array2Ptr<<endl;

return 0;

}

Output example:

The original str1 string is: This is the str1 string

Operation: str1._Copy_s(array1Ptr, array1_size, 12)

The number of copied characters in array1 is: 12

The copied characters array1 is: This is the

Operation: str1._Copy_s(array2Ptr, array2_size, 5, 6)

The number of copied characters in array2 is: 5

The copied characters array2 is: s the
