I need to concatenate two const chars like these:
const char *one = "Hello ";
const char *two = "World";
How might I go about doing that?
I am passed these char*s from a third-party library with a C interface so I can't simply use std::string instead.
In your example one and two are char pointers, pointing to char constants. You cannot change the char constants pointed to by these pointers. So anything like:
strcat(one,two); // append string two to string one.
will not work. Instead you should have a separate variable(char array) to hold the result. Something like this:
char result[100]; // array to hold the result.
strcpy(result,one); // copy string one into the result.
strcat(result,two); // append string two to the result.
