You should be using the StringBuilder class for this public unowned StringBuilder append_len (string val, ssize_t len); (StringBuilder is a GString) Also string class has a size method which uses strlen - it would probably be clearer if it was called ByteLength See http://git.gnome.org/browse/vala/tree/vapi/glib-2.0.vapi If there are still problems let me know - I will be bug fixing genie tomorrow jamie _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
