Hey all,

I'm trying to do something like this, copy different parts into a string.

const int social_items = 10;
string social[social_items] =
{
"site:myspace.com","site:linkedin.com","site:facebook.com","site:adultfriendfinder.com",
"site:friendfinder.com","site:bebo.com","site:meetspot.com","site:twitter.com","site:meetup.com", "site:groups.google.com"
};

for (int i=0; i<social_items; i++)
{
strncpy(search_string, google_base, max_data);
strncpy(search_string, social[i], max_data);
}


the problem with the code is here:

strncpy(search_string, google_base, max_data);
strncpy(search_string, social[i], max_data);

It works, but what ever the last strncpy is, is what it prints out. What I'm looking to do is basically appending the information to it like

http://google.com is the first and then this is added:
http://google.com site:foo and finally we have
http://google.com site:foo intext:bar

Any suggestions? (i also tried to use string, and it errors out the yin/yang.)

./x86

So , you're creating an array of 10 Strings.

And on the loop you're looping from 0-10
the function for strncpy is

And, since this is your whole code, I really can't help too much.

Ok sorry about that, maybe i should include the whole portion, because i was trying to truncate it to the problem areas. Here ya go buddy...

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

//DEMO STRING: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q...intext:foo

int main()
{
char url_search[1024] = "";
const char google_base [128] = "http://google.com/";
const int social_items = 10;
string social[social_items] =
{
"site:myspace.com","site:linkedin.com","site:facebook.com","site:adultfriendfinder.com",
"site:friendfinder.com","site:bebo.com","site:meetspot.com","site:twitter.com","site:meetup.com",
"site:groups.google.com"
};
char fullname[1024] = "";
char phone[1024] = "0";
char street_address[1024] = "";
char email_address[1024] = "";

//SET THE STRING WE NEEDS
char search_string[1024] = "";
char search_reloc[1024] = "";
//MAX COPY DATA
const int max_data = 1024;

//CLEAR THE TERMINAL
system("clear");
//PRINT BANNER INFORMATION
// banner();
//COLLECT USER INFORMATION
cout << "What is the Targets Full Name?: ";
cin.get (fullname, 1024);
//GET TARGET EMAIL ADDRESS
cout << "What is the Targets E-mail Address?: ";
cin >> email_address;

//COLLECT ADDRESS
cout << "What is the targets Residing Address?: ";
cin.ignore();
cin.get (street_address, 1024);

//COLLECT USER ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER
cout << "What is the Targets Phone Number? (###-###-####): ";
cin >> phone;


//PRINT THE INFORMATION TO CONFIRM TO THE USER.

cout << "The following details have been collected." << endl
<< "Targets Full Name: \t" << fullname << endl
<< "Targets E-mail:\t" << email_address << endl
<< "Targets Phone: \t" << phone << endl
<< "Targets Address:\t" << street_address << endl << endl;

//CAUCULATE THE INFORMATION BASED ON NAME
for (int i=0; i<social_items; i++)
{
strncpy(search_string, google_base, max_data);

cout << "Searching " << search_string << endl;
cout << "String2: " << search_reloc << endl;
}

//CALCULATE THE INFORMATION

return 0;

}

Thanks, I'll get back to you when I have enough time to go over this code

Mind explaining what your trying to do?

What I see, is that your asking user for information, storing them in variables.
Then you want to search google with site:facebook, etc, for information or something?

are you trying to use Google as a search? Maybe use Googles API..

Yes, I'm trying to get a tool going to help during penetration tests that can generate listings such as this. I have a working example i designed in VB6, but i need to port it out for linux and os x. I'm trying to append multiple lines to a single string, for example

search_string = http://google.com/
record = "site:this.com"
other = "intext:foo"

and have one record called say final_search and it will = "http://google.comsite:this.com intext:foo" but when i do a strncpy it erases the first portion (google.com) and replaces it with intext:foo. If I'm explaining this properly.

thanks,
./x86

then you can use

ok cool, thanks bluemelon, i will look into it.

Bluemelon,

I did the strncat, and it looks as if the information is stored in there thanks =) but now when i do this...

for (int i=0; i<social_sites; i++)
{

strncat(complete_search_string, google_base_url, max_length);
strncat(complete_search_string, social_items[i].c_str(), max_length);
cout << "Searching: " << complete_search_string << endl;
complete_search_string[1024] = NULL;
}

the string of complete_Search_string becomes this...

google.com/searchgoogle.com/search and with each one it adds each line over and over again. I tried to clear it as shown, but it's not working. Any suggestions or links i can take a look at? I've searched google, and it said it's either "" or NULL at the end to clear it, but I might be missing something. Thanks.

./x86.

Well, it adds every line over and over again because of the
