segmentation fault with strcpy [duplicate]

You haven’t initialized *str_new so it is just copying str_old to some random address. You need to do either this:

char str_new[100];

or

char * str = (char *) malloc(100);

You will have to #include <stdlib.h> if you haven’t already when using the malloc function.
