Jake Mar #2 / 3	Passing fixed length string to API and is returning nulls in string Hi Brad, You can use the Left$ and InStr functions to stip off the nulls (represented by constant vbNullChar): sResult = Left$(sAPIOutput, InStr(sAPIOutput, vbNullChar) - 1) Regards, Jake Marx Quote: > Hello all, > I'm passing a 250 byte fixed length string to a C API call.

Bill McCarth #3 / 3	Passing fixed length string to API and is returning nulls in string often the api will tell you the length of the string, if not you can just use the instr function to search for the first chr$(0), then use Left$ to trim the string. -- Bill McCarthy, MVP VB Total Environment www.TotalEnviro.com/PlatformVB Quote: > Hello all, > I'm passing a 250 byte fixed length string to a C API call.
