coreyh2 Apprentice Member # 4786	written Monday, January 2 2006 16:54 Profile #0 How much is string variable like a pointer to a char in C? After I call get_buffer_text and then clear_buffer is the variable string still safe to use? I'm overly paranoid because I've crashed C programs often by not correctly handling memory and strings.

Not much, from what I understand. You can use a string variable, clear it, and re-use it as much as you want. You'll only kill BoA if you make the string more than 256 characters long (including beginning and ending quotes). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The string buffer is a pretty versatile thing as far as I have experienced. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!
