New Yep, the guy doesn't understand null terminated strings.
A very basic C construct.

New Is that like
the element which connotes "Social Security Benefits" with a maturation date a few years downstream from the present regime's tenure?

IANAP but, sounds like a working example of a null terminated string. Just sorta feels right. (I guess this is the problem of learning programming n'stuff using a Dissembler)

New Nope
NUL is ASCII character 0, in C and C++ is put at the end of a string, kind of like a door stopper, to indicate where the string ends.

If you don't understand this, you don't know what text is in C. If you don't know that, good luck in getting any text manipulation to work...

Cheers,
Ben

New Oh, is THAT how you reverse-engineer Microsoft code?
With a Dissembler?

:D

I'm gonna go build my own theme park! With Blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the park!
