Try this (boy, I'm enjoying this problem... ;)
Char *p, *q;
Char *packed;
Char *field[NUM_FIELDS];
Char *fieldp = field;
UInt32 packed_size = 0;
UInt16 i;
// First pass, find the packed size of the strings.
i = NUM_FIELDS;
while ( i-- ) packed_size += StrLen(fieldp++) + 1;
fieldp = field; // re-set the field pointer
// Allocate enough space for the packed strings.
packed = (Char *)MemPtrNew(sizeof(Char) * packed_size);
p = packed;
// Now, copy the strings. This looks crufty, but makes sense.
i = NUM_FIELDS;
while ( i-- ) {
q = fieldp++;
while ( *p++ = *q++ );
}
This is the tightest (and fastest) code that I can easily come up with. This
code should also easily become a function. I'm definately going to be
including this one in my projects.
