Thank you. This could really solve the problem. I haven't tried it.

RTL reminds me of a german TV channel ... hehe

EDIT:
Great it really works that way. Here is a short snippet how i use this kernel32 RTL function ... thanks jfk

Function GetChars$(memaddr)
	;interates through memory until it finds a NULL str
	;memaddr is the starting point
	;returns the strin
	Local lChar$,lRetString$
	Local i% = 0
	lCharBank = CreateBank(4)

	Repeat
		RTLMoveMemory2(lCharBank,memaddr+i,1)
	
		;Save char in lChar
		lChar = Chr$(PeekByte(lCharBank,0))

		;test for NULL string
		If (Asc(lChar) <> 0) Then
			lRetString = lRetString + lChar
			i = i + 1
		Else
			Exit
		End If
	Forever

	Return lRetString

End Function
