if you know its 0-terminated, you can do a StrCopy, add a "\0" and another StrCopy + "\0" from StrLen()+1 as well. The thing about MemSet is if you have a chunk of memory (getting from MemLock or whatever) and you don't know if it is initialized with "\0" at the beginning, you better do a MemSet with 0x00 to ensure you will have a 0-terminated string, regardless what you do.

So I looked at the code in detail and yes, they were terminated. Since I didn't know about MemMove() there was still no way I could do the packing. But that has been solved now. (I also came across a post where A.Ardiri mentioned something about MemSet() and null termination - anyone knows what that's about?)Thanks for that tip though Matt :-) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
