Thanks ok Bob, do it your way and be slow. Try counting the cycles sometimes. With a strcpy you have to do a check on every character to see if it's a null. strlen() is also slow. String handling is not a a part of the C language. It's an add-on via the "standard libraries". Using them may make it easier on the novice, but if you want speed and efficiency, do it yourself.
