do you mean I should loop through each pos till strlen(cellTab[CellIndex].name) to find "\0"?

strlen is ok, that gives the answer itself. Just slice to that.

cellTab[CellIndex].name[0 .. strlen(cellTab[CellIndex].name.ptr)]

could do it. or

size_t end = 0;
foreach(idx, ch; cellTab[CellIndex].name)
   if(ch == 0) {
        end = idx;
        break;
   }

auto name = cellTab[CellIndex].name[0 .. end];


anything like that

How do you suggest I do the querry build then?

how are you running it? using a lib or just generating a .sql file?

Hi,
I'm creating a connection to the db and conn.exec(sql)
I think I'll try the foreach to find out if it works .... ( tomorrow )

if you use mysql-native, use

conn.exec("UPDATE celldata SET name=?, ...", name);

where you can make a function for name =

/// Takes the data part from a fixed length string until a null terminator. /// Returns: a slice of text until a null terminator or whole string in case there is none.
const(char)[] str(size_t n)(const(char)[n] text)
{
// count until \0 (in bytes, so we can't cause utf decoding exception)
    auto end = text[].representation.countUntil(0);
    // return whole string if there is no \0, otherwise until \0
    return end == -1 ? text[] : text[0 .. end];
}

I think making your own function here instead of using to!string is what you want here. If you put in a char[20] into to!string, it will still return a string with the remaining characters being \0 characters.
