  I have a pointer to a string, the ponter is called pchar.
  

  
  i loop through the string like so...
  

  
  int N = 0
  while ( *(pchar+N) != '\0' )
  {
  N++
  }
  

  
  //N now holds the length of the string...
  

  
  The problem is, the loop goes forever,, and i KNOW the string is null terminated,,, am i just being dumb ?? HELP !!

  Hi,
  

  
  I tried it and it did work fine? He is the test:
  [ccode]
  

  include <stdio.h>

  
  

  
  int main()
  {
  int N = 0 ;
  char *pchar = "livro";
  while ( *(pchar+N) != '\0' )
  {
  N++ ;
  }
  printf("Length = %d\n", N);
  //N now holds the length of the string...
  return 0;
  }
  [/ccode]
  

  
  Can u give me a bigger peace of ur code?
