C++ How to copy text in string (from i.e. 8 letter to 12 letter)

Question

Hello

This is not homework, I need this for my program :)

I ask this question, because I searched for this in Google about 1 hour, and I don't find anything ready to run. I know that is trivial question, but if you will help me, you will make my day :)

Question:

How to copy text in string (from for example 8 letter to 12 letter) and send to other string?

I have string:

string s = "RunnersAreTheBestLovers";

and I want text from 8 letter to 17 letter in next string

Answer 1

I assume you're trying to get the 8th - 17th characters in a another string. If so you should use the substring method string::substr

string s = "RunnersAreTheBestLovers";
string other = s.substr(8, 9);

Answer 2

The string class has a substr method:

string t = s.substr(8, 9);

The first parameter is the starting index and the second parameter is the number of characters to extract.
