doubt in string manipulation

Hi all

Since i am more conversant with assembly programming my knowledge in c
is very limited . Just have a small boubt

there is a function createEAPfile( char *IMSI)
now i have to create a disk resident file which should look like the following

User-Name = "eapsim"
NAS-IP-Address = marajade.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca
EAP-Code = Response
EAP-Type-Identity = "eapsim"
Message-Authenticator = 0
NAS-Port = 0
--------------------------------------------

Here i have to update the User-Name with the value present in *IMSI
say
IMSI=102AD456780 but at the same time i should have double quotes too

i tried the following

char *p = "User-Name = \"IMSI\"";
but output is
User-Name = "IMSI"
but what i want is
User-Name = "102AD456780"

how to get this value of IMSI insted of printing IMSI itself.

Thanks in advance;

regards
Punith

Re: doubt in string manipulation

Use strcat or strncat, and dereference the pointer. You don't show enough code for me to give you an example.

Ya got it DaWei thanks a lot

Code:

#include <unistd.h>

#include <fcntl.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

int main()

{

 int fd1,fd2,nread;

char buf[1024],

char *string= "User-Name = \"";

char *string1,*IMSI="eapsim";



        string1 = malloc (strlen (string)+strlen( IMSI)+1);

        strcat (string1,string);

        strcat (string1,IMSI);

        strcat (string1,"\"");

        strcat (string1,"\n");

 

       write (1,string1,strlen(string1));

return 0;

}
