But make it const char * instead of char *, because you have no guarantee that string literals are in writeable memory, and the compiler may not duplicate strings in memory if you use the same string more than once. -- Be seeing you.

mike #3 / 6	newline in string Maybe the problems in how im outputting it. Im sending it to an edit box like this SendDlgItemMessage(hDlg, IDC_EDIT_PREPEPTALK, WM_SETTEXT , 0, (LPARAM)test); does the edit box ignore the \n character?
