Yes it does. You even said "cVal contains the result returned by the agent in string form". If you can print it using %s, it is a string. If it were raw hex, you would have gotten COLUMN_IPNETTOMEDIAPHYSADDRESS in string form is because the first character would have been 0x00, which is the string terminator in C.

If you are getting a 17 byte ASCII string from the agent, then the agent has a bug. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie Support: <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-users> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: InterSystems CACHE FREE OODBMS DOWNLOAD - A multidimensional database that combines robust object and relational technologies, making it a perfect match for Java, C++,COM, XML, ODBC and JDBC. www.intersystems.com/match8 _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
