Keywords: THINK C STRING Message-ID: <77108@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu> Date: 14 Feb 90 04:41:24 GMT Sender: news@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Reply-To: Distribution: usa Organization: Ohio State University Computer and Information Science Lines: 29 Hi, I'm having a problem getting ThinkC to accept the following: procedureX() { Str255 myString; myString = "\pExample string"; } which a reference book said was correct. I need to be able to set the string to different values, so I can't say: Str255 myString = {"\pExample string"}; Any suggestions?
