System wget of a variable type
So, I have several url's stored in a char pointer array called url
I want to call wget on each url, but I keep getting the following error.
invalid operands to binary + (have 'char *' and 'char *')

My program is in C
system("wget" + url[0]);
In C, the +
operator does not work on strings. To concatenate two strings and pass the result to system()
you can do the following:
char buffer[ENOUGH_SPACE_TO_HOLD_CONCATENATED_RESULT]; /* Destination buffer for our command */
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "wget %s", url[0]); /* You can also use strcat and friends for this step */
system(buffer); /* Now execute it */
In C, you can't concatenate two strings using the +
operator. Use strncat
instead:
NAME
strcat, strncat - concatenate two strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src);
char *strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The strcat() function appends the src string to the dest string, over‐
writing the null byte ('\0') at the end of dest, and then adds a termi‐
nating null byte. The strings may not overlap, and the dest string
must have enough space for the result.
The strncat() function is similar, except that
* it will use at most n characters from src; and
* src does not need to be null-terminated if it contains n or more
characters.
As with strcat(), the resulting string in dest is always null-termi‐
nated.
If src contains n or more characters, strncat() writes n+1 characters
to dest (n from src plus the terminating null byte). Therefore, the
size of dest must be at least strlen(dest)+n+1.
Googling "strncat" will give you plenty of examples of how it's used.
