Hi,
I have a simple question... In C do we have a standard library function which will return the pointer to a substring at certain offset and having certain length...
Ofcourse we should take care not to access beyond allocated length in the parent string and don't overwrite beyond allocated... (2 Replies)

CABEXTRACT(1) General Commands Manual CABEXTRACT(1)NAME
cabextract - program to extract files from Microsoft cabinet (.cab) archives
SYNOPSIS
cabextract [-ddir] [-f] [-Fpattern] [-h] [-l] [-L] [-p] [-q] [-s] [-t] [-v] cabinet files ...
DESCRIPTION
cabextract is a program that un-archives files in the Microsoft cabinet file format (.cab) or any binary file which contains an embedded
cabinet file (frequently found in .exe files).
cabextract will extract all files from all cabinet files specified on the command line.
To extract a multi-part cabinet consisting of several files, only the first cabinet file needs to be given as an argument to cabextract as
it will automatically look for the remaining files. To prevent cabextract from extracting cabinet files you did not specify, use the -s
option.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
-d dir Extracts all files into the directory dir.
-f When testing or extracting cabinet files, corrupted MSZIP blocks will be ignored. A warning will be printed if a corrupted MSZIP
block is encountered.
-F pattern
Only files with names that match the shell pattern pattern shall be listed, tested or extracted. On non-GNU systems, this match may
be case-sensitive.
-h Prints a page of help and exits.
-l Lists the contents of the given cabinet files, rather than extracting them.
-L When extracting cabinet files, makes each extracted file's name lowercase.
-p Files shall be extracted to standard output.
-q When extracting cabinet files, suppresses all messages except errors and warnings.
-s When testing, listing or extracting cabinets which span multiple files, only cabinet files given on the command line shall be used.
-t Tests the integrity of the cabinet. Files are decompressed, but not written to disk or standard output. If the file successfully
decompresses, the MD5 checksum of the file is printed.
-v If given alone on the command line, prints the version of cabextract and exits. Given with a list of cabinet files, it will list the
contents of the cabinet files.
