Lingo interprets ascii 0 as an "End Of String" flag.
You can play with that, like:
on test
tString = "End Of String"
put 1, tString
tZero = numToChar(0)
put tZero into char 7 of tString
put 2, tString
tString2 = ""
repeat while true
tChar = tString.char[1]
delete tString.char[1]
if tChar = EMPTY then exit repeat
if tChar = tZero then tChar = SPACE
tString2 = tString2 & tChar
end repeat
put 3, tString2
end
-- Welcome to Director --
test
-- 1 "End Of String"
-- 2 "End Of"
-- 3 "End Of String"
