What i meant, i wanted to warn Dimitris that char[100] are just array of 100 characters (bytes in C).. and has nothing to do with strings. Do not confuse fixed-length C arrays with strings. There's no 'string' data type in C, and instead they use null-terminated character sequence as a convention. But it is not a fixed-size data.
