Operating Systems Solaris problem with sprintf snprintf in Solaris Post 59231 by diganta on Tuesday 14th of December 2004 09:01:34 AM

the above code is working if I copy paste it and then compile it. However in my application there is one more line after the call to sprintf

name = line;

the value are ok before this line. only after this line is the data getting truncated. Can you give me any idea why.

Also, in the actual applycation the variable are like this,

char line[1024]; //local variable of the function.
char *cmd, *line: //passed as arguments to the function.

NAME
paste - paste multiple files together SYNOPSIS
paste [-s] [-d list] file... OPTIONS
-d Set delimiter used to separate columns to list. -s Print files sequentially, file k on line k. EXAMPLES
paste file1 file2 # Print file1 in col 1, file2 in col 2 paste -s f1 f2 # Print f1 on line 1 and f2 on line 2 paste -d : file1 file2 # Print the lines separated by a colon DESCRIPTION
Paste concatenates corresponding lines of the given input files and writes them to standard output. The lines of the different files are separated by the delimiters given with the option -s. If no list is given, a tab is substituted for every linefeed, except the last one. If end-of-file is hit on an input file, subsequent lines are empty. Suppose a set of k files each has one word per line. Then the paste output will have k columns, with the contents of file j in column j. If the -s flag is given, then the first file is on line 1, the second file on line 2, etc. In effect, -s turns the output sideways. If a list of delimiters is given, they are used in turn. The C escape sequences , , \, and are used for linefeed, tab, backslash, and the null string, respectively. PASTE(1)
