Actually, your StrCat() concatenates your \0, but the next StrCat()
overwrites it, just because it's its default behavior.
StrCat() starts concatenating from the first \0 found.
A workaround would be something like
COPY your recP->Labels into a buffer
for(int i=0;i<StrLen(YourBuffer;i++)
if(YourBuffer[i]=='~')
YourBuffer[i]='\0';
