How is this different from taking the first 24 letters?

Your question is not clear. Try to post your code. So that we can see what is wrong in that and then correct it.

hi
Here is the working code
/* This method takes String, Start Length and End Length as input parameters, sub string the string and returns it */

char* getsubstring(const char* urstr, size_t beginL, size_t len)
{
if (urstr == 0 || strlen(urstr) == 0 || strlen(urstr) < begin || strlen(urstr) < (beginL+len))
return 0;
return strndup(urstr + beginL, len);
}

Thanks
