That's why you can do things like char *s; s = "this is a test"; while (*s != '\0') putchar(*s++); So, to get what you want, you could write (*address)++; but IMO, your "fix" looks nicer: *address += 1; Regards, --Daniel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
