Hey all thanks for the quick replies to part 1 of my post. Though it seems that I have stumbled onto another problem regarding strings

How can I insert this 1 character into another string. I thought this would work:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *fp;
    char fileOutput[255],test[255];
    int i;
    
    fp = fopen( "data.dat", "rt" );
    
    while( !feof(fp) ) {
        fgets( fileOutput, 255, fp );
        sscanf( fileOutput, "%.1s", test );
        printf("%s\n",test);
    }
    
    fclose(fp);


    return 0;
}

Though the above code doesn't work

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to build up a string in test? Because if so, continually copying into it with sscanf will just keep overwriting what you did before. You'd need to increment a counter with the offset into the string (i.e. so that you're copying into test + counter).

At any rate, I don't think it's meaningful to scan a string with a length of 0.1.

And also, sscanf isn't really the best way to copy a string. You'd probably be better off looking at strncpy and strcat, though I'm still not entirely sure what you're trying to do.

strstr or strchr to find the offset
then strncpy the front then your insert then strcat
