Sigh! typedef struct { int field1; char field2[10]; int field3; char field4[10]; char *field5; } foobar_t; ... foobar_t foobar; memset(&foobar, 0, sizeof(foobar)); foobar.field2[0] = ' '; foobar.field4[0] = ' '; foobar.field5 = malloc(sizeof(...something...)); if (foobar.field5) { memset(foobar.field5, 0, sizeof(...something...)); *foobar.field5 = ' '; } etc etc ('mbare, detto in lingua, ca fallo un poco di sforzo...) -- Ciao, Marco ______________________________________________________________________________ Marco Greco /UK /IBM Standard disclaimers apply!
