I have very lightly changed jim mcnamara's code...hope he is Smilie with that.
As the model and num variables are going to be used in other functions make them global and the update_new_logical_name() function need not return anything.
Code:
#include <string.h>
char part_one[3];
int num;
void update_new_logical_name(char *src)
{
      if(strlen(src)>=3)
          memcpy(part_one, src, 3);
      if(strlen(src)>=8)
          num = atoi(src+3);      
      printf ("model = %s  num = %s\n, part_one, num);
}

Fair enough! Unfortunately, I have to work with stone-age C, so I tend to overlook these fancy modern features.

Post the code that you are using...since the one that you are using isn't giving the desired output. Given the string jkl00001 the code in my last post works correctly. It will be incorrect only if the input string changed. Is that the case?
