What you suggested makes a lot of sense and I think it should work. It still
doesn't work for me though, am I doing something else wrong as well? Now I
get the following error
"application1.0 just read from memory location 0x10024AA7 causing an address
error. An address error means that the application accessed a 2 0r 4 byte
value at an odd (not even) memory address"
I changed my unpack routine to:
static void UnpackRange(Range* range, const PackedRange *packedRange)
{
const char *s = packedRange->name;
range->name = s;
s += StrLen(s) + 1;
range->startRange = *((Int32*)s);
s = s + 4;
range->endRange = *((Int32*)s);
}
Thank you, I really appreciate your help.
