You can get the third letter by using this (If you need get a single letter):

char letter = Strvar[2]; //0 is the first letter

To copy to other string, try this:
char letter[2]; //0 will hold the letter, 1 will hold the end of string

letter[0] = Strvar[2];
strcpy(text, letter);

Looking at this topic, and trying to implement this solution leads to an error.
My problem is: I have a string variable: let say: NAME.
For instance, suppose NAME equals "andrew smith"
A would like to get the 1st letter of NAME and put it in the variable LETTER1 (also declared as s string in GE)
Unfortunately, the following code does not seem to work:
char LETTER1 = NAME[0];
Why?
Many thanks for your help.

Try

Code: Select all

char nam[50];
char letter[1];
strcpy(letter, NAME);
letter[0] = nam[n];
strcpy(text, letter);


this will make the text display the nth character of NAME.

Many thanks (I suppose there is a mix between "letter" and "nam" in the 1st strcpy, but your solution works).
