Example that uses wcscat()
This example creates the wide character string "computer program" using the wcscat() function.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#define SIZE 40
int main(void)
{
wchar_t buffer1[SIZE] = L"computer";
wchar_t * string = L" program";
wchar_t * ptr;
ptr = wcscat( buffer1, string );
printf( "buffer1 = %ls\n", buffer1 );
}
/**************** Output should be similar to: ******************
buffer1 = computer program
