Well, thanks Nick for the help. I'll try it too. :) Mazy No sig. available now.

Is size big enough for the string being placed in pszIn and in particular does it include room for the \0 C string terminator? Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows. Free Trial at www.getsoft.com

I think CString is for you. hey

Or std::string. It's for everyone. char * are unnecessary most of the time, people use them because C++ is almost always poorly taught by old C hackers.

This would happen to me when I had memory leaks. The program would run just fine and then unpredictably it would crash whenever I would allocate memory. Try to use a constant instead of "size" variable. Try different values and if your program runs fine and never crashes then you must have a memory leak. // Afterall I realized that even my comment lines have bugs

You can use std::string as Christian suggested then, I assume you mean you can't use CString because you are using Borland CPP, or linux CPP with KDevelop or something. I suggested CString because this forum is supposed to be for Visual C++. I also assume that if you meant you don't want to use MFC, that you'd have posted something along the lines of "I don't wanna use MFC" CString is readily available to Visual C++ CPP projects through the MFC headers Mazdak wrote: Beer wrote: I think CString is for you.
