Hi,
You are trying to write into an unallocated Memory. Each memory pointer
is of 4 bytes long and in your code you have allocated just 4 bytes and
trying to write more than one address. By allocating 4 bytes -
list = MemPtrNew(RETURN_WORDS); --- this just allocates memory to store
1 address(4 bytes)
you can store only one address but you are trying to store more than 1
address( 4 ) -
for (i=0;i<RETURN_WORDS;i++)
list[i]=listRow + ((StrLen(info) +1)*i);
solution:
You have to allocate memory for list = 4 * (Number of address you are
going to store) i.e 4 * 4
list = MemPtrNew(RETURN_WORDS * 4);
for (i=0;i<RETURN_WORDS;i++)
list[i]=listRow + ((StrLen(info) +1)*i);
This will work fine without any problem.
Thanks
