good to know. :) Anyway, BlitzMax doesn't use zero terminated strings (as long as I know). It uses strings in format pointer +lenght, so if there are zeros in the buffer, there will be zeros in the string, even if you trim it. so, the better choice, trim and stop reading when a zero occurs. I'm not shure if the method ToCString of strings will make a sort of zero based trim over the function, or just creates a zero based string and a pointer to it. I've passed ToCString to apis that were specting a CString, but in the declaration of the API, I have had to declare it as a INT... don't ask me why, but it works fine.
