What I normally do is use g_strdup (), eg: gchar *name; GtkWidget *name_entry; name = g_strdup (gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(name_entry))); g_print ("The name was: %s\n", name); g_free (name); Keith. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
