You don't. C arrays are just pointers and don't carry size information. If your array is a NULL-terminated C string then you can use strlen(), but that won't work for numeric data. Mostly you'll just have to pass the length of the array around with the array. Note that this is more of a C programming question than an Inline question. You might get a better answer in a C programming forum. -sam
