// There was also another thing wrong that I missed

 void getstr(const char *string, char *new_string, int start_offset,
int end_offset)
 {
   int i=0;
   int b=0;
 
   for (i=start_offset; i<=end_offset; i++) {
     // *(new_string+b)=string+i;
     // this is assigning the pointers to a char array instead of chars
     // It should be:
     *(new_string+b)=*(string+i)
     b++;
   }
   *(new_string+b)='\0';
   return;
 }

// This is untested but i think it works fine for any other newbies
// that are interested in the code

P.S.  Sorry for the off-topic thread DJ.
