I have the following code:
str = "ABCD";  //0x001135F8  
newStr = "EFGH"; //0x008F5740
*str after realloc at 5th position - //0x001135FC
I want it to point to: 0x008F5740
void str_cat(char** str, char* newStr)
{
 int i;
 realloc(*str, strlen(*str) + strlen(newStr) + 1); //*str is now 9 length long
 // I want to change the memory reference value of the 5th char in *str to point to newStr.
 // Is this possible?
 // &((*str) + strlen(*str)) = (char*)&newStr; //This is my problem (I think)
