Reading char* from specific index C

Question

I have a char *message; which contains some content. I wish to read this message from a specific index (for example 20) and until end of the char*. Is there any clever way to do this? I have been looking at memcpy() and the possibility to copy a "sub-string" from message into a new char *tmp;, but I can't seem to figure out how to start at that specific index (for example 20) and copy until end of message -- rather than starting at the beginning of message.

Any help appreciated. Cheers!

Answer 1

You may try like this:

char *tmp= message + 20;

Answer 2

this is an example to test your need :

main()
{

   char *buff = "hello_word_test";
   char *tmp;

   printf("%s \n",buff);
   printf("%s \n",buff+5);


}

result :

    hello_word_test 
   _word_test 

5 is an index , you can change it as well as you need
