CStrings

Does CString and LPCTSTR only carry as much as 256 characters or is there a way to augment this to carry what I want. I have a SQL query that is 289 characters long and I'm needing a string variable that could carry it. (shuffling through MSDN. yuck) Thanks! "Why are we hiding from the police, Daddy?"

CString doesn't have a 256 char limit. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

Nope. If you dig through the MFC Source, you'll discover that it stores the string in a LPTSTR variable called m_pchData. Looking further, LPTSTR is defined as char * or wchar * (depending on whether or not you're using UNICODE). So in essence, CString can handle strings as large as your have memory for.

CString::GetLength() returns an int [32 bit number in win32] So I guess if you have that much RAM, then that's the limit.... a 32 bit number can have a max value of 4,294,967,295 and GetLength() returns the byte count thus we can have that many bytes [approx 4.29 GB] in a CString :-) Hmmmm wait wait wait I think int means signed-integer if that's the case then we only have 2.14 GB :-) Nish
