I want to extract part of a string within given limits in C language. I tried strcpy() but it only extracts the first n characters from a string.
How can I do this?

You can do this by using a simple loop: `for(i=0 ,j = pos ; i

@RobinHalder: but don't forget to show the null termination, and do you need to check that the string is at least as long as the start position of the substring? – Jonathan Leffler Feb 28 '15 at 19:44

What you are looking for is Substring(). Here's a simple example:
string Str = "I only want to extract \"want\" from this string.";
string Str2 = Str.Substring(7, 4);
MessageBox.Show("String 1: " + Str +" - String 2: "+Str2);
