Find the end of your string using strlen, for example, then assign a null character.


int string_length = 0;

char my_string[] = {"boat"};

printf("%s\n", my_string);

/* outputs boat */

string_length = strlen(my_string);

/*string_length equals 4*/

my_string[3] = '\0';

/*insert null character at the end of the string*/

printf("%s\n", my_string);

/* outputs boa */

[yaustar]

my_string[3] = '\0';

should be

my_string[string_length-1] = '\0';

[jamotto]

my_string[3] = '\0';

should be

my_string[string_length-1] = '\0';

Thanks for catching my mistake.

(right now im using the eboot of this program)it sends the size of the message correctly, but it doesn't send the actual message right. I believe that the problem is that it sends the message as void, but then it doesn't get changed to a string or something, does anyone know how to do this???
