Hallo!
There is a package called BioSeq1 at bioconductor. It Is using the .C interface and
was doing a lot of string manipulation. Should have tons of examples.
The simplest way to do it is.
You my alloc fist the char in R.
mychar<-paste(rep(" ",1000),collapse="")
tmp<-.C(
as.character(mychar)
nchar(mychar)
)
You can write into the char on the C side what you like. The char will be in tmp[[1]]
Sincerely Eryk
