Change that to this: copyOfpObj->extra_descr = str_dup(pObj->extra_descr);
Which will copy the string, but write it to a new space in memory and assign copyOfpObj's pointer to that new space...

I am having one problem with it. When I copy the object the extra descriptions are both pointing the same address in memeory so it's obivously causing problems. So yeah, I'm really bad with pointers lol, and I know this is an easy way to fix it. Here is the line in question: copyOfpObj->extra_descr = pObj->extra_descr; Thanks -- ROM mailing list [email protected] http://www.rom.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rom
