Yes, but I don't want to really explain that, as it is internal interpreter stuff. Even if Gambas always knows the length of a string (by storing it with the string contents for example), all strings created by Gambas are zero- terminated string. *But*, Gambas does not always create strings. For example, many string manipulation functions (Mid$, Left$, Right$, Trim$...) do not really create strings to be faster, and so do not return zero-terminated strings necessarily. So, to be sure, just create a string with an explicit Chr$(0) at its end.
