Alexander Fische #1 / 3	Ptr of a string Hi, I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to get the pointer address of a RB string. I need it to pass it to a QD function. Thanks in advance Alejandro Fischer

Do you use the RB 2's "Declare" feature? With the latest RB versions you can declare a parameter being of type "cstring" or "pstring" - then you can pass a RB string and RB will pass its pointer to the function. Otherwise, you need to copy the string into a memoryblock - then you can pass this memblock to a "ptr" parameter. -- Thomas Tempelmann <mailto:tom$tempel.org>
