title: Having trouble using a char in C
body: <p>I'm very new to C and am having an issue with using chars.  I have a large string assigned to </p>
  
  <pre><code>char *test = "very large string of characters";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to write out the string with 
      printf("%s", test); </p>
  
  <p>it shows me the full string fine, however if I try doing </p>
  
  <pre><code>printf("%s", test); 
  printf("%s", test); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the second printf only displays about 20% of the string.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get test to write out twice without being truncated?</p>
