I'm using PC-lint to analyze my code and theese lines are generating several errors. That makes me wonder if my coding pratice is wrong?

char *start;
char *end;

// Extract the phone number
start = (char*) (strchr(data, '\"') +1);
end = (char*) strchr(start, '\"');
*end = 0;
strlcpy((char*)Fp_smsSender, start , start-(end-1));

EDIT: After your help i now have:

char *start;
char *end;

if (data != NULL)
{
  // Extract the phone number
  start = strchr(data, '\"');
  if (start != NULL)
  {
    ++start;
    end = strchr(start, '\"');

    if (end != NULL)
    {
      *end = 0;
      strlcpy((char*)Fp_smsSender, start , FP_MAX_PHONE);
    }
  }

How does that look?
