Knowing the header is always 30 chars long saves you from having to fiddle with it too much. > * is "blank" ASCII-blank, or '0x00'? (From the write-code, it looks like > ASCII) Definitely ASCII-blank. 0x00 doesn't work well with all these printf-functions. I tested a solution with 0x00 instead of blanks, but quickly ran into issues with the fancy string-handling-functions. You'd basically have to do it char-by-char then and "reinvent" printf or snprintf to a buffer and then manually swap out placeholders with 0x00. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
