I don't have a problem with pointer arithmetic. My problem is that I'm doing arithmetic on one string (the case-folded version) and applying that math to another string (the original version). This can only be correct if the two strings are the same length in bytes. I don't believe that's a sure thing with UTF-8. > For the sake of readability, I'd rather use the following code: > > char **str; > > /* str[0]: basename > str[1]: extension */ > str = g_strsplit (filename, ".", 2); > > g_strfreev(str) Surely that won't work if there is more than one dot in the name! _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
