Substring with unknown length (newbie)

that means I'll have difficulties using the 'copy' function since
it requires length parameter.

I'm trying to copy or search a string until a certain character match,
and then null-terminate. something like (pseudo) :

Search string[ i++] until string [ i] = '>';
string [ i+1] := #0;

Maybe I'll obtain a substring merely by inserting a null
character in the source string.

But maybe it is the syntax that is my problem.

Thank you for your time
