Use memcpy() with some pointer (or something like this) because output from AES_[ed]crypt() is not string but 16 bytes of binary data that can have '\0' chars inside. By "one by one" i guess that you use ECB mode which should be avoided. Look at crypto/aes/aes_cbc.c for example implementation of CBC mode. And one warning: this implementation does not remove padding when decryption is used.
