I working on a project, where I want to read a STR# resource and write it

With Carbon.Res I can easily access the file an read the string Resources
for each ID. But with the Res.Get1Resource('STR#', id).data I get all the
strings in the list in one string only. Is there a method in python like
GetIndSting or something like it?
To my surprise there isn't! And nobody ever complained!
The problem is that the Carbon modules are generated automatically, and GetIndString is declared in TextUtils.h, not in Resource.h, so it isn't picked up.
I've filed a bug report (#1089399), so it'll be fixed, but that's a long term thing (not before 2.5). In the short term you'll have to parse the STR# resource yourself. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they're just a null-byte separated list. If they're something else (a list of Pascal strings?) I'll just hope someone will chime in.
