[En-Nut-Discussion] Who can answer me on sprintf problem ?

[ivesworking]

Thanks for your answer, it seem better and should be more stable.
Got another question is  similar, but more trouble, [i feel like i am not a 
good programmer]
if i want to trim some string from know format,
assume my string is "<data:helloworld>"
and i want to let my string become "helloworld"
if assume the string store at char *buf;
what i plan to do is strncpy(buf,buf+6,strlen(buf)+6+1)
i know we can do it in the long way, like declare another buffer,
but is that possible to do it in this short way ?
